About Anastasiia
Anastasiia Makarova is a counsellor with four years' experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside other approaches. She works with people who are struggling with mood, sleep and day-to-day functioning. Anastasiia speaks English and Russian and practises in the United Kingdom under the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) registration.
Her background blends evidence-based thinking with interest in attachment and emotion work. Sessions often focus on understanding what keeps problems going, and on small, practical steps that make daily life easier. For someone losing interest in activities, or having trouble sleeping and organising their day, she aims to break issues into workable pieces.
Anastasiia draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take manageable action. She also uses Attachment-Based techniques to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try out different behaviours.
She has worked with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, anger and issues around self-esteem and identity. Other areas she includes are ADHD, compassion fatigue, career strain and separation or divorce-related worries. Anastasiia is comfortable addressing sleep difficulties as part of wider emotional and life challenges.
The approach is collaborative and practical. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, setting small goals and trying new ways of coping between meetings. People can expect straightforward language and clear suggestions rather than technical explanations.
How Anastasiia's approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and for people who feel stuck in unhelpful patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to change how someone feels and functions. It often helps with sleep problems, worry and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how these shape current interactions and emotional reactions; it can help people who notice repeated relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anastasiia aims to decide together with each person which methods suit their needs and goals. The therapist will listen to what is most important to the client and suggest approaches to try, adjusting as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow people to join from a comfortable location. Some formats are better for brief check-ins while others suit deeper, reflective work; Anastasiia can help decide what will work best for the client's schedule and the issues they want to address.
