Tatyana Sibthorpe , BACP

She is a UK-licensed therapist with 16 years of professional experience and holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Over more than a decade and a half she has supported people facing addictions, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and career difficulties, alongside a broad range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, parenting struggles, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Her practice blends respect, sensitivity, and compassion into a collaborative process that centers each person’s unique needs. She adapts dialogue and treatment plans to match individual circumstances, drawing on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. These methods are chosen to help clients build practical skills, deepen understanding of patterns, and move toward valued changes in their lives.

Tatyana offers therapy in English and Russian and accepts international clients, providing flexibility in how people connect. She sees taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life as an act of courage and works alongside clients to provide steady support as they pursue that change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed action toward meaningful goals. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that keep someone stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy - This approach explores how early relationships shape current ways of relating and helps rebuild secure connections and healthier interpersonal patterns, which can support work on intimacy, abandonment, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy - Grounded in empathy and nonjudgmental listening, this style supports clients to find their own solutions and build self-understanding, making it helpful for self-esteem, life transitions, and coping challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Tatyana works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress unfolds. The process is guided by the client’s priorities and paced to suit their comfort.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people access care - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and to choose a communication style that matches daily life, schedules, and energy levels. Working with licensed professionals via these formats can help clients maintain continuity of support while balancing other responsibilities.
