About Tatyana
Tatyana Sibthorpe is a counsellor with 16 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She offers calm, practical support for people facing trauma, relationship strain, addictions, and mood concerns.

Her approach is adaptable to each person’s needs. She draws on trauma-focused techniques alongside acceptance and commitment ideas to help people manage painful memories and move toward meaningful goals.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioural strategies are used to identify patterns that keep problems going and try out different ways of thinking and acting. Tatyana places emphasis on a respectful, compassionate working relationship. She listens for what matters most to each person and builds a plan from there.
The work can include talking through experiences, trying new coping skills, and setting small achievable goals. She has supported people with anxiety, depression, grief, career stress, eating and sleeping difficulties, intimacy issues, and self-esteem problems. Additional areas she addresses include attachment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and challenges linked to ageing.
Sessions are available online in several formats. International clients can be accommodated. Practical next steps are simple: complete a short matching questionnaire, choose a session format, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online support
Trauma-focused therapy helps people process distressing memories in a gradual, stabilised way and can reduce the power of those memories over everyday life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on what matters most to an individual and teaches ways to act in line with personal values even when feelings are difficult. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating and feeling safe with others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their history, current goals, and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try first. Therapy is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different time zones. Video allows face-to-face conversation for in-depth work, phone can be helpful when internet bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility so people can choose what suits their routine and comfort.
