About Tatyana
Tatyana Sibthorpe is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has 16 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on problems such as addictions, relationships, trauma and abuse, and career difficulties. She communicates in English and Russian and accepts international clients.
Her work combines practical talking and well-known therapeutic methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take manageable steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns that keep problems going. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are brought in when emotions feel overwhelming.
Sessions focus on clear goals and workable strategies. She adapts conversations and plans to suit each person’s situation. This can include short-term strategies to manage stress and longer conversations about relationship patterns or past trauma.
Tatyana pays attention to attachment and relationship dynamics when relevant. That perspective is helpful for worries about intimacy, abandonment, or communication problems. She also addresses practical life issues like work stress, study transitions, and coping with major change.
Her background supports work on a wide range of concerns including mood problems, grief, eating and sleeping issues, parenting strain, and caregiving stress. People can expect straightforward conversation, practical techniques, and collaborative planning toward clearer next steps.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps that align with those values. It helps with feelings of being stuck, career uncertainty, and decisions about relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings and actions and provides practical exercises to shift patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect closeness and trust, which can be useful for intimacy, abandonment worries and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and then recommend which methods to try first. That choice is reviewed collaboratively as the sessions progress so the plan can change if something isn’t helping.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into study, work and busy schedules because they remove travel time and can be scheduled around other commitments. Online work also makes it simpler to use short check-ins or longer weekly conversations depending on what fits someone’s life. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and skills practice for remote sessions so the therapy can feel practical and focused.
