About Tatyana
Tatyana Sibthorpe is a counsellor who uses practical talking therapy to help people feel more able to handle life’s pressures. She brings 16 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and works with clients on issues such as anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties and addictions. She speaks English and Russian and aims to treat everyone with respect and compassion.
Her approach is collaborative and grounded in everyday language. She adapts sessions to the person in front of her and focuses on realistic steps clients can try between meetings. This can include helping people manage stress, improve sleep, or cope with grief and life changes.
Tatyana draws on several established approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. She uses these methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try small behavioural changes, and build more helpful habits over time.
Her background includes long-term practice across a range of concerns such as relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, eating issues and compassion fatigue. She also works with specific issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties and chronic illness challenges.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and international clients are accepted. To start, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability by selecting the Start Therapy button.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems when worry or avoidance keeps someone awake. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, behaviours and feelings and uses simple experiments and routines to change unhelpful patterns, for example addressing bedtime habits and worry that disrupts rest. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in close relationships and helps people understand how those patterns affect trust, intimacy and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will listen to your needs and goals and discuss which methods might suit you best. That choice is made together and can be adjusted as you go along, so sessions stay relevant to what you want to change.
