About Anastasiia
Anastasiia Makarova is a BACP-registered counsellor who brings four years of clinical experience to her practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Russian, and she accepts international clients.
Her style mixes practical techniques with attention to emotional experience. Anastasiia uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people manage mood, sleep and difficult thoughts.
Background and approach
She also draws on Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ways of working when relationship patterns are important. In sessions she breaks problems down into small, manageable steps. People learn ways to manage overwhelming feelings, adjust unhelpful thinking and rebuild daily routines.
She also helps with relationship communication, intimacy-related concerns and the emotional impact of loss or past hurt. Her background includes ongoing professional development and participation in international conferences. Anastasiia follows the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is recorded as BACP.
People who find structured, evidence-informed work helpful often suit her practice. She aims to make therapy a collaborative process where goals are clear and progress is tracked. To begin, readers are directed to the Start Therapy button and the short matching questionnaire.

How Anastasiia works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical techniques to reduce unhelpful thinking and improve daily routines. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep problems.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and reducing the long-term effects of upsetting events, using paced work to help people feel safer with difficult memories.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals and test what fits best. Sessions often blend methods so the plan matches the client's needs and preferences.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are offered before you book. Confirming available formats helps you plan practical details like session length and whether you will use video or another option. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day.
