About Anastasiia
Anastasiia Makarova is a counsellor who focuses on helping people living with depression and related challenges. She uses practical, evidence-informed methods to reduce low mood and restore daily routines. Anastasiia speaks English and Russian and works with people based in the United Kingdom and internationally.
She has four years of clinical experience and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. That membership is shown as her professional credential.
Background and approach
Her work draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and other well-known therapeutic approaches. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. Anastasiia helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviours to break cycles of low mood.
She also pays attention to relational patterns and how past attachments affect current feelings and relationships. People meet her for support with sleep problems, loss and grief, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, career stress and life changes. She also offers support around trauma, intimacy concerns, ADHD-related struggles and compassion fatigue.
Her practical style includes straightforward tools, gentle reflection and step-by-step planning. Anastasiia encourages small changes that add up over time and checks progress together as therapy continues.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. In sessions, Anastasiia would work with a person to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural experiments to lift mood and improve daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anastasiia treats therapy as a collaboration and will discuss what methods suit each person's goals and preferences. Together they will check what helps and adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions can be shorter or easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, ongoing support or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and mobility needs while keeping the focus on practical change.
