About Anastasia

Anastasia Seale is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years' clinical experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and changes in relationships. Sessions are offered in English and Russian and are intended for people navigating difficult life transitions and relationship strains.

Anastasia uses an integrative stance that draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centred skills to help people speak openly about what matters to them. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when practical strategies for thinking and behaviour are helpful.

Her background includes work with people affected by trauma and abuse, attachment issues, family conflict and parenting stress. She has experience supporting people facing loss, including bereavement and infant loss, and those managing anger, intimacy worries and low self-esteem. Anastasia also works with concerns linked to chronic illness, caregiver stress and ageing issues.

In sessions she aims to listen carefully and respond to each person's circumstances. Conversations tend to be straightforward and focused on what someone wants to change or understand. Practical steps and reflection are mixed according to what the person needs in the moment.

If someone is unsure how counselling might help, Anastasia asks a few questions to clarify priorities and then plans the next steps together. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the platform's See online therapy options button.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns between people and how early connections affect current relationships. Online sessions using this approach can help identify recurring relationship habits and how they influence present difficulties such as intimacy worries or attachment issues.

Client-centred counselling emphasises open listening and the client's own priorities. In online meetings this is shown by time to speak, reflective replies and collaboratively setting goals for what the client wants to address. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers practical techniques for managing anxious thoughts and unhelpful behaviours, such as short exercises and homework that can be reviewed between sessions.

Figuring out which approach fits best is treated as a collaborative step. The therapist will ask about goals, daily life and what has or hasn't helped before, then recommend a way of working and review it together as therapy progresses.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods to suit quieter surroundings, reduced bandwidth or shorter sessions so therapy fits into everyday routines.
