Tatyana Sibthorpe
Practical therapy for stress, relationships and recovery
About Tatyana
Tatyana Sibthorpe uses a blend of practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people make meaningful changes. She sees anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions and relationship concerns as problems to be worked through together. Tatyana speaks English and Russian and brings 16 years of client work in the United Kingdom to each meeting.
Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. She adapts simple exercises from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to everyday life.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what is getting in the way now and on small steps that can reduce distress and restore balance. Tatyana also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how patterns from the past shape current relationships. When feelings feel overwhelming she uses techniques from dialectical behaviour therapy to teach calming and grounding skills.
The goal is practical change rather than labels. She has worked with people facing grief, career transitions, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image and intimacy-related problems. Additional concerns she addresses include parenting strain, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and complicated bereavement.
Tatyana intends sessions to be warm, direct and focused on what helps you move forward. Her way of working suits people who want clear tools and an empathetic listener. New clients are invited to start by describing what matters to them most now, then a tailored plan is built together.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. Online ACT sessions teach simple exercises to reduce avoidance and build a more meaningful daily routine. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours. Delivered remotely, CBT uses structured tasks and short homework to change patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, try techniques, and adapt the plan based on what feels useful. That collaborative testing makes it easier to settle on methods that fit each person's needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let you see and hear the therapist for in-depth work. Phone sessions are handy if bandwidth is limited or you need a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or want flexible, on-the-go support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other daily demands while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
