Tatyana Sibthorpe

Tatyana Sibthorpe is a counsellor with 16 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She offers a respectful and compassionate approach and tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs. She speaks English and Russian and supports people facing a wide range of life difficulties.

She often helps people who are coping with addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and career stresses. Depression, anxiety and stress management are common areas she addresses, as are grief, intimacy-related concerns and self-esteem. She also works with issues such as eating or sleeping difficulties, anger, and coping with major life changes.

Tatyana uses practical, evidence-informed methods in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take steps that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns that keep problems going and to try new ways of thinking and acting. Attachment-based ideas help when relationships and early experiences affect current choices.

She also uses client-centred and Dialectical Behavior Therapy approaches to support emotional regulation and to keep the conversation focused on the person's goals. People who have experienced adoption, abandonment, caregiving strain, chronic illness, or neurodiversity-related challenges are also within her stated focus areas. She will work with each person to build a plan that fits their circumstances.

Tatyana asks people to select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to begin. Scheduling is organised according to her availability and sessions use a cancellable subscription model.

Approaches that guide online work

Tatyana commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that reflect their values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current connections and can help when trust, closeness or patterns of relating are a central issue.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, history and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. Together they will adjust methods and pace until the work feels useful and manageable.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. It can also let conversations focus on practical skills, values-based steps and emotion regulation exercises without needing extra time for commuting.
