About Dmitri
Dmitri Shirobokov helps people facing addictions, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. He works with concerns like stress, grief, low self-esteem and problems with sleeping or eating. Dmitri also supports people dealing with trauma, compassion fatigue and major life changes.
He is named in the first paragraph so readers know who they are reading about. Dmitri uses a goal-orientated style. He focuses on each person's needs and strengths rather than only their problems.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to set clear, practical steps and to build skills people can use between meetings. He also brings experience from rehabilitation settings to inform recovery-focused work. He draws on several therapeutic approaches to meet different needs.
Client-Centred Therapy shapes sessions around the person's own pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Motivational Interviewing supports people finding internal motivation for change.
With 14 years of experience, Dmitri works internationally and has a background in rehabilitation services. He holds membership of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, listed as BACP. That shows he follows professional standards set by that body.
Sessions are offered in English and Russian. Costs vary with location and a subscription model is used that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.

How Dmitri works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then adapt methods to suit their needs. This collaborative process means methods can be combined or adjusted as progress unfolds.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows continuity of care for people who move between locations. Ask about session formats and scheduling so appointments can be arranged to fit everyday life.
