About Tatyana Sibthorpe

Tatyana Sibthorpe is a UK-licensed therapist with 16 years of professional experience and holds the BACP credential, a recognised professional counselling qualification. She has practical experience supporting people facing addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and career-related challenges. Tatyana works from a stance of respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans to fit each person’s unique circumstances and goals.

Her approach emphasises collaboration - she tailors dialogue and therapeutic steps to meet specific needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life often takes courage, and Tatyana aims to provide steady support through that process.

Clients who seek help for complex life changes, emotional distress, or patterns that interfere with relationships and work will find a practitioner focused on practical, person-centered care and ongoing encouragement throughout their therapeutic journey.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to clarify what matters most to them and to take committed steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be helpful for stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions where finding direction is important. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the patterns of relating that form in early life and how those patterns affect current relationships - it can support work on intimacy, abandonment concerns, and relationship repair. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) explores the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, offering practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tatyana works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as therapy progresses to ensure the approach remains helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations and to fit sessions into busy schedules. These options allow therapy to continue when in-person meetings are difficult and support a consistent, accessible path to working on personal goals.
