Tatyana Sibthorpe

Tatyana Sibthorpe is a counsellor with 16 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She offers calm, respectful support for people facing addiction, relationship strain, trauma, career pressures and mood concerns. Tatyana adapts sessions to each person’s needs and speaks English and Russian.

Her approach centres on collaborative conversation and practical skills. She uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes. Attachment-based work is used when early relationships affect current trust and connection.

Tatyana often helps people manage anger, stress and anxiety by building clearer communication and self-awareness. For those facing grief, parenting strain or caregiving burden she aims to create a steady, problem-solving space. She also supports people with eating and sleeping difficulties, intimacy concerns and life transitions.

Sessions aim to balance understanding with action. Tatyana listens for what matters most and then suggests manageable steps clients can test between meetings. She emphasises simple tools that fit into daily life rather than complex programmes.

Her practice recognises many overlapping issues such as codependency, attachment wounds and control struggles. The first meetings usually focus on practical goals and ways to measure small changes over time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Tatyana uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are strong. ACT often helps with anxiety, depression and patterns like avoidance that get in the way of a meaningful life.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns shape current trust and closeness. This work can make a difference for people who find themselves repeating old dynamics in relationships or struggling with intimacy.

Finding the best approach is a joint effort. Tatyana will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. She treats the choice of approach as flexible and reviews progress together so changes can be made if needed.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are offered before you book because the biography does not specify formats. The advantages commonly noted for online work include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week, shorter check-ins when needed, or choosing audio only when less screen time helps. Many people find online meetings make it simpler to keep continuity during life changes and to try new skills between sessions.
