About Tatyana

Tatyana Sibthorpe is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 16 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on issues such as addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, career problems, depression, stress and anxiety. She also lists anger, grief, intimacy and self-esteem among her areas of focus.

Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions often centre on what is happening now and what the client wants to change. She uses clear techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice patterns and try different responses.

Tatyana also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how earlier relationships affect current reactions. Dialectical behaviour therapy skills are used when people need tools for managing strong feelings and improving emotional regulation. Client-centred principles guide the way she listens and responds to each person.

She offers help in English and Russian and is available to work with people in different countries. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. If someone is ready to begin, they are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.

Her style aims to be straightforward and respectful. Conversations focus on practical steps people can try between sessions and on building clearer ways to cope with stress, anger and day-to-day pressures.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, low mood and for people wanting clearer direction in difficult moments. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and on trying small experiments to change them; it often helps with anxiety, depression and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence present-day reactions and can be helpful for improving communication and emotional responses in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and agree on which methods to try together. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as understanding grows.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work around appointments, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make regular contact possible for people in different countries. Practical considerations such as quieter surroundings or using audio-only calls for lower bandwidth are worth discussing when arranging sessions.
