About Tetiana
Tetiana Brotherton is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. Sessions are offered in English, Russian and Ukrainian.
Tetiana uses a straightforward, practical style. She listens without judgement and helps people notice patterns that keep problems going. In sessions she looks at thoughts, behaviours and habits that affect mood and coping.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centred methods and mindfulness. That means she works with thoughts and behaviours, pays attention to how people experience feelings in the moment, and keeps the clients perspective central. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are also used to set short-term goals and plan small experiments between sessions.
Tetiana has worked with a wide range of presentations, including compulsive sexual behaviours and recovery, childhood trauma, bereavement, low self-esteem, historic abuse and relationship and attachment issues. She also addresses concerns like body image, codependency, communication problems, control issues and family-of-origin difficulties.
Practical steps are a feature of her work. That can include trying different responses to stressful thoughts, planning small behaviour changes, and using mindfulness exercises to manage intense feelings. To begin, clients use the sites matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How CBT and related approaches work in online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of responding. It involves simple exercises, thought records and planned behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety or low mood. Client-centred therapy prioritises the clients perspective and uses reflective listening to clarify what matters to them. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention exercises to help notice emotions and bodily sensations without reacting immediately.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with the client to choose which methods to try based on goals and what feels useful. Sessions may shift over time from exploring experience to practising skills and setting short-term tasks.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and making it easier to keep regular appointments. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings when a full video call is difficult, while others use sessions for longer, structured skill practice. Confirm available session formats before booking so arrangements match what is needed.
