About Tatyana

Tatyana Sibthorpe is a counsellor who uses EMDR therapy alongside other approaches to help people address trauma, relationship strain and anxiety. She draws on 16 years of experience in the United Kingdom to guide clients through difficult life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Russian for people both locally and internationally.

Her work focuses on practical steps people can take between sessions. She listens first, then shapes a plan around what the person wants to change.

Background and approach

That plan may include talking therapies, skills practice, and ways to manage strong emotions day to day. Tatyana draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small committed steps. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try new responses.

Attachment-based ideas are used when early relationships affect current patterns. People come for many reasons, including addiction, depression, stress, grief and parenting strain. She also addresses more specific concerns such as body image, chronic illness, caring responsibilities and communication problems.

Tatyana describes her work as respectful, sensitive and compassionate. Practicalities are kept simple. Sessions can be by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Costs vary with location and the service runs on a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to therapist availability.

Online support

EMDR-informed approaches and online therapy options

EMDR is part of a broader approach she uses alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, manageable steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviours, teaching practical techniques to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful habits.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, past experience and current needs to decide what to try first. Plans are adjusted over time so the work fits the client’s pace and real-life demands.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for a more conversational session, phone meetings suit quieter audio-only check-ins, live chat can work for shorter check-ins and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel, and allow different ways to engage depending on comfort and practical needs.
