About Tetiana
Tetiana Brotherton is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. Tetiana speaks English, Russian and Ukrainian and uses a mix of practical approaches to help people manage day-to-day pressures.
Tetiana often focuses on problems that start in early relationships, such as attachment and abandonment issues. She also helps with practical relationship difficulties, family of origin problems, and communication or control struggles. Her background includes work with people living with compulsive sexual behaviours and recovery.
Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness techniques. Sessions involve talking through what is happening now, learning ways to challenge unhelpful thoughts, and practising simple grounding or awareness exercises. She uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused ideas to set small, achievable steps when that fits the client's goals.
Tetiana writes plainly and keeps sessions practical. She works with people who describe low mood, grief, self-harm history, or past abuse, and those wanting to change specific behaviours. Conversations may include exploring family patterns, relationship strains, body image, eating issues, or feelings of emptiness.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's concerns. In practice this looks like the therapist reflecting what someone says, asking clarifying questions, and helping the client lead the topics they want to work on. It is useful for discussing relationship patterns, attachment worries, and feelings of emptiness.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions. In sessions the therapist works with the client to spot unhelpful thinking, test those thoughts, and practise alternative responses. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood and behaviour change such as managing addictive urges.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That discussion can happen in early sessions and be reviewed as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study or work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow sessions in the client’s preferred language when the therapist offers English, Russian or Ukrainian.
