About Anastasiia
Anastasiia Makarova is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of clinical experience. She works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. Sessions may also address relationship strain, grief, trauma and a range of related concerns such as sleep problems, anger and career uncertainty.
Her background emphasises evidence-informed therapies. She uses cognitive behavioural methods (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and trauma-focused techniques. She also draws on attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas when relationships and intimacy are part of the issue.
In practical terms she talks through patterns that keep problems going and helps people learn small, repeatable skills to manage moods and anxiety. Work can include looking at thoughts and behaviours, clarifying values, and practising new ways of relating to oneself and others. Sessions are generally collaborative and structured around what the client wants to change.
She has an interest in life purpose questions and career-related decisions, and supports people weighing options after a major change. Anastasiia communicates in English and Russian and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first appointment using the See online therapy options button. This lets prospective clients schedule an initial session and discuss goals and practical arrangements.
Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to the client and building small, value-guided actions. It helps people who feel stuck or disconnected from what matters after a life change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing distressing experiences with carefully paced techniques to reduce their ongoing impact.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Anastasiia will discuss options with each person and decide collaboratively which methods suit their goals, preferences and current situation. That discussion typically happens in the first few sessions and can be adjusted over time as needs change.
Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. If a client prefers audio-only meetings or needs shorter appointments to fit a lunch break, those practical options can be explored when arranging sessions.
