About Tatyana
Tatyana Sibthorpe uses straightforward, person-focused therapy to help people make meaningful changes. She works in English and Russian and has 16 years of experience in the United Kingdom. Tatyana aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can talk through difficult problems and set realistic goals.
Her practice supports people coping with addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety and stress. She also helps with career concerns, grief, intimacy issues and challenges with eating or sleeping.
Background and approach
Additional areas of focus include attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress and chronic illness matters. Tatyana adapts her approach to each person. She draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based work to match what a person needs.
Sessions are intended to be practical and conversational, with tools to try between meetings. Clients can expect a calm, accepting tone and a plan that is shaped around their goals. Therapy may include learning coping skills, noticing unhelpful patterns and practising new ways of relating to thoughts and feelings.
Progress is reviewed regularly so the plan can change if needed. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat and text messaging for people inside or outside the UK. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to availability.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then select or blend methods with the client. This is a joint process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video lets people keep the face-to-face feeling, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing notes and reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while maintaining continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
