Tatyana Sibthorpe uses a practical, person-centred approach to help people make real changes in their lives. She draws on multiple therapy methods to match the way someone prefers to work. Tatyana speaks English and Russian and provides online support from the United Kingdom.

She has 16 years of experience helping people deal with addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and career challenges. She also supports those managing depression, anxiety, stress, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and intimacy concerns.

Background and approach

Tatyana pays attention to things like attachment, body image, control issues and communication patterns that often sit behind repeated difficulties. In sessions she adapts her style to each person. That can mean talking through unhelpful thoughts, practising new ways to cope, or exploring past patterns that affect current relationships.

She aims to make conversations clear and straightforward so people can try different ways of handling problems between sessions. Tatyana uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Client-Centred methods. These offer a mix of skills training, values-focused work and emotionally focused exploration depending on the issue.

Her way of working is respectful and practical. She helps people set small, achievable goals and reviews progress together. The focus is on making life less overwhelming and improving day-to-day coping.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while clarifying what matters most so actions align with personal values. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, addiction and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns through practical exercises and homework. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, eating and sleeping problems and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and together they will choose which methods to try first based on the person’s goals and preferences. Sessions can combine elements from different approaches so the plan stays flexible and responsive to progress.

Online therapy here is offered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations for skills practice and deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be a better fit when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflective writing exercises or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family life and relocation.
