Tetiana Brotherton

Tetiana Brotherton is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She also focuses on issues such as attachment, codependency, body image and family of origin concerns. Sessions are offered in English, Russian and Ukrainian.

Tetiana uses a blend of evidence-informed methods to help people untangle what feels overwhelming. She draws on client-centred ways of working to listen and reflect what matters most to the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques are used to spot and change unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help manage intense emotion in the moment.

People who come when they feel stuck can expect practical, conversational sessions. The focus is on small changes and clearer thinking rather than labels or long lectures. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels uncertain about change and Solution-Focused techniques are used to set short-term, achievable goals.

Tetiana has worked with a wide range of presenting difficulties, including historic abuse, bereavement, relationship issues and compulsive behaviours. Her approach is straightforward and paced to the client’s current needs. She encourages clients to try simple strategies between sessions and to reflect on what works for them.

For anyone arranging a first appointment, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and sessions run on a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Tetiana regularly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive listening and reflecting back what matters to the client, which helps people name priorities and make decisions. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small experiments, useful for anxiety, low mood and behaviour change.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help with intense emotions and urges. Mindfulness offers simple practices to notice body sensations and thoughts without acting on them, which can help with stress and compulsive behaviours. Choosing which methods to use is part of the collaboration; the therapist and client review goals and try approaches that fit the person’s needs and preferences.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions useful because they can fit a short check-in into a lunch break, avoid travel time, or reduce the need for lengthy commutes. Other practical benefits include being able to work with a therapist who speaks your language and keeping regular appointments more easily within a busy week.
