Tetiana Brotherton , BACP

Tetiana Brotherton is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She communicates plainly and aims to make sessions feel approachable and practical for someone under strain.

Tetiana frames sessions as a chance to talk through immediate problems and to find small steps that make life steadier. She listens without judgement and focuses on what clients want to change. Conversations often lead to concrete tools and short-term goals that can be tried between sessions.

Her background includes three years of clinical work and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. That experience has involved supporting people with complex histories, including childhood trauma and bereavement, as well as more specific difficulties such as compulsive sexual behaviours and recovery.

She also works with concerns that often cluster together, like attachment issues, codependency and communication problems. Tetiana offers practical strategies for managing difficult emotions and rebuilding more reliable routines and relationships.

Sessions are offered in English, Russian and Ukrainian. People can expect a straightforward, empathetic approach that balances listening with action. The focus is on small, manageable changes rather than dramatic promises.

How her approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and pace, with the therapist offering empathy and reflective listening to help people find their own solutions. It is useful for anyone who needs a calm space to untangle difficult feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression and addictive behaviours by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match a person's needs and preferences, adjusting plans as progress is made.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls are close to in-person contact for deeper conversations, phone sessions work well when video is not possible, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or shorter, more frequent support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family duties or travel and allow people to keep continuity of care when circumstances change.
