Tetiana Brotherton , BACP

Tetiana Brotherton is an integrative counsellor with focused expertise in compulsive sexual behaviours and recovery. She works with a wide age range of clients, from adolescents to older adults, supporting people who present with difficulties such as depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, self-harm, childhood trauma, bereavement and loss, historic abuse, relationship and attachment issues, and challenges related to LGBTQ+ identity and low self-esteem. Her practice also addresses stress, addictions, grief and abuse-related concerns.

Tetiana approaches each person with compassion and without judgement, offering a space to explore difficult emotions and life patterns. Her integrative orientation allows her to draw on multiple methods to tailor support to individual needs, helping clients develop healthier relationships and greater emotional regulation. She emphasises practical steps toward recovery while attending to the personal story behind presenting difficulties.

She holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which signals adherence to recognised professional standards in the United Kingdom. Tetiana aims to support personal growth and healing through empathic listening, collaborative planning, and clinical techniques suited to each individual’s goals and circumstances.

Approaches for online recovery and growth

Tetiana draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritises the individual’s experience and creates a respectful, non-directive space for exploring feelings and values. This approach is helpful for people working through attachment concerns, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and the emotional impact of loss.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. CBT is practical and problem-focused, often supporting work with anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviours, and stress management.

Mindfulness Therapy is another element of her practice, offering tools to develop present-moment awareness and reduce emotional reactivity. Mindfulness can assist with emotional regulation, managing cravings in addictive behaviours, and coping with trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tetiana works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, set goals, and adapt methods over time so the work fits the client’s preferences and circumstances.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent support from home or other convenient locations. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow continuity of care when in-person sessions are challenging, and enable different ways to engage with therapy depending on what feels most comfortable for the client.
