About Anastasia
Anastasia Miloslavskaya is an ACA counsellor who draws on five years of experience to help people facing grief, parenting strain, self-esteem concerns, career uncertainty and ADHD-related challenges. She uses a flexible, person-focused approach and aims to create a calm space where clients can talk things through and find practical ways forward.
Previously Anastasia lived and studied in several countries and worked in a range of organisations before opening independent practice.
How Anastasia works
Those life changes shaped her understanding of relocation, loss and the adjustment stresses that can follow big transitions. She pays attention to loneliness, guilt and the small losses that sometimes build into deeper distress. Anastasia blends several therapeutic approaches to fit each person’s needs.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to find practical strategies for unhelpful thinking and Attachment-Based ideas to make sense of relationship patterns. Her style is warm, curious and collaborative. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change.
Anastasia helps people develop coping skills, improve communication and work through body image, control or abandonment concerns. She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, immigration adjustments and feelings of isolation. Outside work she enjoys creative activities like painting, writing and music, which informs a thoughtful, human-centred practice.
Anastasia aims to reduce stigma around mental health and offers a respectful, non-judgemental space for people to be heard.

How these therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for grief, life transitions and uncertainty about purpose.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical experiments and new behaviours. It works well for anxiety, low mood, self-esteem and problem-solving around day-to-day challenges.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at recurring relationship patterns and how early experiences shape current reactions. This approach can help people understand triggers around abandonment, communication problems and intimacy concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Anastasia will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques as those goals change. That collaboration helps shape a plan that feels realistic and useful.
Online therapy with Anastasia uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video lets people work face to face while phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief reflections, daily check-ins or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments.
