About Dmitri

Dmitri Shirobokov helps people facing depression and related struggles such as anxiety, stress, addiction and grief. He speaks English and Russian and brings 14 years of experience working in rehabilitation settings. Dmitri aims to create straightforward, goal-focused sessions that address what a person needs now.

He works in a practical, client-centred way. Conversations start by identifying strengths and priorities. Sessions then use tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and motivational techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts and boost motivation for change.

Background and approach

Dmitri also draws on existential and mindfulness ideas to help people make sense of difficult life shifts. That can mean talking through values, meaning, and day-to-day coping skills. Mindfulness exercises are offered to reduce stress and improve sleep and attention.

Across sessions he focuses on clear goals and step-by-step plans. People who come for help with relationships, career stress, family problems, or intimacy issues are encouraged to try small, achievable changes between meetings. He adapts his style to each person's pace.

His background includes long-term work in rehabilitation settings and membership of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, BACP. Dmitri works with individuals internationally and uses video, phone, chat and messaging to meet people where they are.

Online support

Client-centred therapy puts the person and their priorities at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens closely and follows each person's pace, helping them set goals and choose practical steps to try between meetings. This approach can help with depression, relationship worries and career stress.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence. It uses short exercises and behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change patterns that feed low mood. CBT is especially suited to structured online sessions where homework and worksheets can be shared.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dmitri will collaborate with clients to pick methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean combining client-centred listening with CBT tools, motivational interviewing to boost change, or mindfulness practices to manage stress.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people meet face to face without travel, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can suit short check-ins or those who prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping continuity between sessions.
