Anastasia Seale , BACP

Anastasia Seale is a counsellor who uses attachment-based, client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches to help people working through stress, anxiety and relationship strain. She holds BACP registration and has seven years of practice in the United Kingdom. Anastasia speaks English and Russian and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical.

Anastasia tailors sessions to each person's needs. She listens for patterns that come from early attachment and current life pressures. She then helps clients spot unhelpful thoughts and try small changes that can ease distress. Sessions are conversational and focused on things that can be tried between meetings.

Her background includes supporting people affected by grief, trauma and abuse, as well as parenting concerns and compassion fatigue. She also works with issues such as self-esteem, anger, intimacy-related worries and chronic health challenges. Anastasia has experience with attachment difficulties, blended family tensions and communication problems.

People meet her for help with big life changes, coping strategies and repairing close relationships. She uses a mix of short-term practical tools and deeper reflection depending on what each person needs. Sessions can be in English or Russian to suit the client.

Anastasia encourages a calm, respectful space where people can talk honestly. She asks questions, reflects back what she hears and offers straightforward ideas to try. If someone wants a clearer plan, she will work with them to set simple goals and check progress over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and closeness. It can help when trust, abandonment fears or repeated patterns in relationships cause pain and distress. Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of the process; the counsellor listens without judgement and helps the client find their own solutions and directions. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Anastasia will discuss options, try approaches and adapt based on your goals and what feels most useful. The process is collaborative so you decide what to focus on and how to move forward.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling fit into daily life. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging allows ongoing reflection over time. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, childcare and travel, while providing continuity between meetings.
