About Tatyana
Tatyana Sibthorpe is a BACP counsellor with 16 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and career challenges. Her work is grounded in respect, sensitivity and compassion, and she aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person's needs.
In sessions she listens closely to what matters most and helps people map practical steps forward. She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioural ideas and acceptance-based strategies to help manage difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-focused work also informs how she looks at relationship patterns and long-standing hurts.
Tatyana supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem struggles and codependency concerns. She also offers help for issues such as eating or sleeping difficulties, anger, chronic illness impacts and the strain of caregiving. Her background includes wide experience across these areas over many years.
She offers therapy in English and Russian and can work with international clients. Sessions follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; exact costs vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling is set according to availability.
People who reach out can expect a practical, person-focused process. Tatyana aims to make each session a place to talk honestly, set clear goals and try realistic steps between meetings.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes where someone wants to move toward what matters despite inner struggle. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and early bonds to understand how people relate now; it can help with trust issues, intimacy difficulties and codependency concerns. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, offering empathic listening and reflection so people feel heard and can arrive at their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist discusses goals and preferences and works collaboratively to decide which methods to try. That plan can change over time as needs become clearer.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when that suits them better, while others use longer sessions for deeper work; confirm which formats are offered before booking. Working online can make it easier to attend from different locations and to schedule around work, caregiving or other commitments.
