About Anastasiia
Anastasiia Makarova is a BACP counsellor who draws on four years of clinical experience. She focuses on depression and related struggles, and uses clear, evidence-informed methods to help people regain routine and energy. She speaks English and Russian, and accepts international clients from the United Kingdom.
Her work often addresses low mood, persistent hopelessness, sleep problems, and difficulties with daily organisation. She also supports people dealing with anxiety, relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, ADHD, and career-related stress. Anastasiia also helps with intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, and navigating major life changes.
She uses approaches that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Trauma-Focused Therapy. In sessions she aims to blend practical skills with attention to emotional patterns, so people leave with tools they can use between meetings.
Anastasiia says she keeps up with developments in neuroscience and medicine and attends international conferences to inform her practice. Her BACP membership is noted in her profile. She presents therapy as a collaborative process and invites people to work together on realistic goals.
To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and clients are asked to confirm the session formats offered before booking.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can help when someone feels stuck or is avoiding difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to change patterns that maintain depression or anxiety. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends directly to past harm and its effects, using careful pacing to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and the problems you want to tackle, and together you will decide which methods to use. This is presented as a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.
If you prefer online sessions, confirm the session formats offered before booking since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find video sessions helpful for practising skills in real time, while phone sessions can be simpler when lower bandwidth or less screen time is required. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists with the approaches above, can often adapt their methods to work effectively in an online setting.
