About Tatyana
Tatyana Sibthorpe is a counsellor who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage depression and other life challenges. She draws on 16 years of experience in the UK to offer steady, respectful support. Sessions are tailored to each person and conducted in English or Russian.
She helps people address addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and career stress. Tatyana also works with issues such as anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, sleeping and eating problems, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
She supports people facing compassion fatigue, chronic illness, caregiving strain, and identity-related concerns including LGBT matters. Her approach mixes well-known methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with Attachment-Based, Client-Centred, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy ideas.
In practice that means she focuses on what matters to the person, teaches skills to manage difficult thoughts and feelings, and pays attention to how relationships shape wellbeing. Tatyana is a BACP member, which indicates professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
She brings 16 years of direct clinical experience to sessions, and adapts the tone and pace to each person’s needs. Therapy can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. International clients are accepted.
The subscription-based sessions can be cancelled at any time.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a practical, skills-based approach that looks at how thoughts, behaviours and feelings interact. It teaches specific tools for managing low mood, anxiety, sleeping problems and unhelpful thought patterns.
Tatyana treats finding the right approach as a shared process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit those aims, and adjust the plan together as work progresses. That partnership helps choose whether ACT, CBT or other techniques suit a person best.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let the therapist see non-verbal cues and hold longer sessions, phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, while live chat or text messaging is useful for short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care across time zones for international clients and to match the format to how someone prefers to communicate.
