Tetiana Brotherton, BACP

Tetiana Brotherton helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She writes simply and listens closely. Her approach aims to make therapy clear and manageable for someone feeling overwhelmed.

She works in a collaborative, non-judgemental way. Sessions focus on what the person needs right now. Conversations tend to be practical, with steps to try between meetings and space to talk about painful memories when ready.

Tetiana uses a mix of methods to match each person's situation. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow what matters most to the client. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help change unhelpful thinking patterns and Mindfulness to support calm and grounding.

Tetiana holds BACP, which shows her connection to a recognised professional body. She has three years' experience offering counselling in the United Kingdom. She works in English, Russian and Ukrainian, which helps people who prefer those languages.

Practical concerns such as relationship patterns, body image, codependency and family of origin issues are part of her focus. She also pays attention to specific problems like abandonment, control issues, eating and food-related issues, and domestic violence. The intention is to help people build healthier ways of coping and relating.

People starting with Tetiana complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that suit their schedule. Her style is steady and down-to-earth, aimed at helping someone take small, realistic steps toward feeling better.

Approaches that can guide online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. The therapist offers empathy and support so individuals can explore feelings and decide on their own pace of change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms such as anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help with stress and to create calm moments during a busy day.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences. Together they will try methods that seem most useful and adjust them as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and flexible.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different situations. Video calls let people see facial cues and gestures, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family commitments while keeping the focus on practical support and steady progress.
