About Tatyana
Tatyana Sibthorpe works with people using a practical, person-focused approach. She draws on talking therapies to help with addiction, relationship strain, trauma, career challenges, anxiety, and low mood. Tatyana speaks English and Russian and practises in the United Kingdom as a BACP counsellor with 16 years of experience.
Tatyana aims to make sessions straightforward and approachable. She listens first, then shapes the conversation around what matters to the client. That might mean looking at thoughts and behaviours, exploring emotional patterns, or learning new coping skills for stress and anger.
Background and approach
She adapts the work to each person’s needs. For some clients the focus is practical problem solving for sleep, eating, or work issues. For others it is addressing deeper experiences such as trauma, attachment pain, or grief.
Tatyana also supports people working through identity and intimacy concerns. Her practice draws on methods like acceptance and commitment work, attachment-based ideas, and cognitive and dialectical approaches. Sessions are goal-led but flexible so the plan can change as progress is made.
Tatyana aims to keep the steps clear and manageable. Tatyana values respect, sensitivity and compassion in every session. She encourages small, steady changes and helps people build realistic ways to cope with life’s pressures.
Starting therapy can feel hard, and she focuses on practical support from the first meeting.

Therapeutic approaches you can access online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and to take action toward what matters. It is useful for anxiety, depression, avoidance and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours to reduce unhelpful patterns and build practical skills for sleep, eating, stress and mood. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current ways of relating and feeling, which can help with intimacy issues, grief and attachment pain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options and agree a way forward together. This makes the plan collaborative and shaped around your goals and preferences, not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls give face-to-face contact for deeper conversations, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, ongoing support or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel and caring responsibilities, and to keep continuity if circumstances change.
