About Anastasiia

Anastasiia Makarova is a counsellor who uses practical, structured methods to help people manage low mood and anxiety. She brings four years of clinical experience and works from approaches that focus on thoughts, feelings and relationships. Anastasiia speaks English and Russian and practises in the United Kingdom.

She commonly helps with stress and anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep and anger problems, and the effects of trauma, grief or major life changes.

Background and approach

She also supports people dealing with career strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD and mood instability such as bipolar. Sessions look at day-to-day patterns as well as past events that still affect how someone feels now. Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas.

That means clients learn practical skills to change unhelpful thinking, notice what matters most to them, and work on how they relate to others. Trauma-focused and emotionally focused methods are also used when relevant. Anastasiia aims for a collaborative style.

She sets clear goals with each person and checks progress regularly. Conversations are straightforward and focused on small, achievable steps as well as longer-term change. People who prefer a direct, evidence-informed approach tend to find her helpful.

She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, and can work with clients both in the UK and internationally.

How Anastasiia uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you clarify what matters most and build actions that match those values. It uses simple exercises to reduce struggling with painful thoughts and to increase meaningful activity, which can help with depression and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns. It teaches practical tools for managing anxiety, sleep problems and low mood, and often includes homework to practise new skills between sessions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns with others. It helps people improve connection, manage intimacy concerns and respond differently in close relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options at the start and adapt methods to your needs, goals and preferences in an ongoing, collaborative way. This helps make sure the sessions fit you rather than forcing one single method.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging can be helpful for check-ins, shorter conversations or when typed communication feels easier. These options make it simpler to arrange regular sessions around work, family and travel.
