About Anastasiia
Anastasiia Makarova is a BACP-registered counsellor with four years of clinical experience. She presents practical, evidence-informed care for people struggling with low mood, anxiety and life changes. Anastasiia speaks English and Russian and offers sessions to clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Her practice focuses on day-to-day problems such as stress, sleep disruption and relationship worries. She also supports people facing trauma, grief, or the challenges of neurodivergence and mood disorders.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be clear and goal-oriented, so people leave with usable steps to try between meetings. Anastasiia uses several therapeutic approaches that help people change unhelpful patterns and build new ways of coping. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and shift thinking traps.
She also uses trauma-focused methods to help process painful events and attachment-informed work to look at close relationships and emotional patterns. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens, offers feedback, and helps people set achievable goals.
Practical exercises and short-term plans are common parts of the work. Appointments are available via video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions that suit their routine.
Anastasiia aims to make therapy accessible and adaptable to different needs.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about problems, goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that feel like a good fit. That collaborative process means approaches can be adapted over time as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can work for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options aim to give flexibility so people can keep continuity with therapy around work, travel or daily routines.
