About Tetiana

Tetiana Brotherton is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression, and lists additional focuses such as attachment issues, family of origin concerns and forgiveness.

Tetiana sees people who are dealing with difficult past events and ongoing struggles. She talks through compulsive sexual behaviours and recovery as part of her practice. She also supports those facing bereavement, low self-esteem and relationship strains.

Her way of working is integrative. She mixes person-centred conversation with practical tools from cognitive behavioural and solution-focused approaches. Sessions often include gentle mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing techniques to help people consider change and maintain it.

Tetiana uses clear, direct conversation and practical exercises rather than technical language. She helps people name patterns, try small changes and reflect on what feels workable in everyday life. That can mean looking at family history, attachment dynamics or behaviours that keep someone stuck.

Sessions are offered in English, Russian and Ukrainian. The profile notes work with a wide age range and a variety of issues, including historic abuse and LGBTQ+ matters. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

To begin, the usual first steps involve a short matching process and scheduling an initial appointment. The therapist asks people to set clear, achievable goals and then reviews progress as therapy continues.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Tetiana blends Client-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her online practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on honest conversation and understanding what matters to the person. It helps with feelings rooted in relationships and identity by prioritising the client's perspective. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers simple exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns.

She also uses brief Solution-Focused techniques to set small, achievable goals and mindfulness exercises to notice present-moment experience. Together these approaches give practical steps as well as reflective space. Finding the right mix is collaborative - she will work with the client to choose approaches that match their goals, needs and comfort level, and review what helps as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins if needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to use guided mindfulness practices and CBT worksheets during sessions to rehearse new ways of coping.
