Tetiana Brotherton, BACP

Tetiana Brotherton is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She uses a calm, non-judgemental approach to make it easier to talk about painful experiences. She works in English, Russian and Ukrainian and practises in the United Kingdom.

Tetiana focuses on practical change alongside emotional understanding. Sessions often look at how past relationships shape current reactions, and how to spot unhelpful patterns. She draws on Client-Centred ideas to prioritise the person’s goals and pace, and uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to identify and change thinking and behaviour that keep problems going.

Meditation and breathing exercises from Mindfulness Therapy are used to reduce overwhelm and improve attention to the present moment. Motivational Interviewing helps when people feel stuck or uncertain about change, and Solution-Focused Therapy supports quick, goal-driven steps when practical progress is wanted.

Her background includes three years of counselling work with a wide range of presenting issues, and she holds BACP accreditation. That means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, as supplied in her credentials.

Tetiana aims to provide steady support while helping people build coping skills. She encourages small, manageable steps and keeps each session focused on what the person needs right now. If you are unsure what to expect, she invites a short first conversation to explain her way of working.

How therapy approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pace, offering a space where the counsellor listens carefully and follows what matters most. This approach helps people who need to feel heard before making changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and uses simple exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression and many habit problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what helps most and tailor methods to the person’s goals and preferences. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to access sessions in another language, such as Russian or Ukrainian, without needing to travel. Registered or accredited professionals can explain how a particular format will suit practical needs during the initial scheduling steps.
