About Tetiana
Counsellor Tetiana Brotherton is a BACP member with three years' practice in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She works with people who bring a range of related concerns and practical problems.
Tetiana uses an integrative approach and draws on client-centred methods. Sessions are conversational and aim to understand what has happened and what the person wants to change. She pays attention to how past relationships and attachment patterns affect current feelings and behaviour.
She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and to test different ways of responding. Mindfulness-based practices are offered to help reduce overwhelm and build steadier attention. Motivational interviewing supports people weighing change, and solution-focused work looks at small steps that make life easier.
Tetiana has particular experience with compulsive sexual behaviours and recovery. She has worked with a wide age range and with issues such as self-harm, bereavement, historic abuse, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. She is able to work in English, Russian and Ukrainian.
People come to her when they want a direct, conversational counsellor who listens for patterns from the past and works towards practical change in the present.
Therapeutic approaches and remote counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The counsellor follows what the client says and reflects it back, helping people clarify their own goals and feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people test different responses to reduce distress.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and increase steadiness. These approaches suit problems such as anxiety, low mood, compulsive behaviours and difficulty managing strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and agree a plan based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. Decisions about methods and the pace of change are made together.
The original profile does not list which session formats are used. Please confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life, for example by avoiding travel, reducing time away from work or allowing a shorter check-in when needed. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care and to reach people across locations.
