About Tatyana

Tatyana Sibthorpe is a counsellor who draws on 16 years of practice to help people find steadier ground. She focuses on practical talk, listening carefully, and shaping a plan that fits each person’s needs. She treats people with respect, sensitivity and compassion, and supports those facing hard life changes or emotional pain.

Her work addresses addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, career challenges, depression and anxiety. She also helps with grief, stress, intimacy concerns, self-esteem and bipolar-related coping. Additional areas she pays attention to include adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties and caregiver stress.

Tatyana uses a mix of approaches to suit the individual. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify values and build meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps with unhelpful thoughts and gradual behaviour change. Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns.

Sessions are adapted to what each person needs. Conversations are collaborative and practical, with space for emotions and problem solving. Tatyana aims to help people develop tools they can use after sessions end.

She works in the United Kingdom and offers appointments in English and Russian. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches that guide online work and what they offer

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It suits issues like depression, anxiety and life transitions where motivation and meaning are important. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with gradual behavioural changes; it is often used for anxiety, mood difficulties and coping with stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and helps people build new ways of relating and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk about goals, preferences and what has worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time so it stays useful and realistic.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy day and keeping continuity across different locations. Because session formats were not specified here, confirm which options are available before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful for maintaining regular contact, shorter check-ins, and matching counselling to their routine without extra travel.
