About Dmitri

Dmitri Shirobokov helps people facing a wide range of struggles, including addictions, anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, grief and difficulty coping with life changes. He speaks English and Russian and has 14 years of experience working in rehabilitation settings. He is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Dmitri keeps sessions practical and focused on the client’s goals. He looks for strengths to build on and helps people set achievable steps for change.

Background and approach

Sessions are framed around what the person wants to accomplish, not a list of labels. His background includes long involvement in rehabilitation work, where he has supported people through recovery and relapse prevention. That experience shapes how he helps people manage cravings, triggers and the knock-on effects of addiction on relationships and work.

He uses several therapeutic approaches to suit different needs. Client-centred conversations create space to talk and be heard. Cognitive behavioural techniques help spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Motivational interviewing is used when someone feels unsure about making changes. Dmitri aims to make sessions straightforward and collaborative. He helps people clarify what matters to them, choose small steps and check progress.

People seeking support can expect a direct, calm style that balances practical strategies with space to process difficult feelings.

Ways of working Dmitri names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Dmitri’s approach fits into online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on hearing the person and following their lead. It gives space to talk about emotional and relationship difficulties and helps people feel understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical tools to change patterns that underlie anxiety, depression or addictive behaviour.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dmitri will discuss options and try methods that match the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor the plan whether someone needs short-term coaching or a longer therapy course.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video works well for a face-to-face feel, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats let people fit therapy around work, travel or family life and keep a steady rhythm of support.
