About Anastasiia
Anastasiia Makarova is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years of experience and works with people facing anxiety, stress, low mood and relationship concerns. She speaks English and Russian and offers sessions to clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Her approach combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-based ideas. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns, identify strong feelings, and name the interaction styles that keep them stuck.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and practical, with time spent on understanding what matters most and trying small changes between meetings. Anastasiia commonly supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, and difficulties with self-esteem and intimacy. She also works with issues such as career stress, compassion fatigue and the challenges of major life changes.
Her practice includes attention to complex presentations like co-morbidity and symptoms that appear alongside mood instability. She uses trauma-focused methods when past events affect daily life, and uses CBT-style exercises when managing thoughts and routines helps reduce distress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy elements are used to map emotional patterns and repair difficult interaction cycles.
The emphasis is on clear, achievable steps rather than technical language. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Prospective clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and can then schedule sessions according to availability.

Online support
How these approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name core emotions in relationships and personal life. Online sessions using elements of EFT focus on identifying patterns that keep someone feeling stuck and on trying new ways of connecting with themselves and others.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It emphasises values-based actions, so sessions often include simple exercises to practise between meetings to support clearer choices in daily life.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of relating affect current relationships and self-view. In an online setting this can help clients recognise repeating interaction styles and try small experiments to change them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anastasiia will discuss options with each client and together they will choose methods that match the person's goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into short breaks; live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care across time zones and locations while tailoring contact style to what works best for the client.
