About Anastasiia
Anastasiia Makarova is a counsellor with four years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration, which is listed as her credential. Anastasiia works in English and Russian and accepts international clients for online sessions.
She focuses on anxiety, depression, stress and relationship concerns. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, sleep problems and difficulties around intimacy. Career pressure, anger and coping with major life changes are other areas she addresses.
How Anastasiia works
Anastasiia uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. In practical terms this means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviours and reconnect with important values. Trauma-focused work and emotionally-focused ideas inform how she works with painful memories and relationship issues.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She aims to set clear, manageable steps so clients can try things between appointments. The tone is collaborative rather than prescriptive, with attention to what each person needs now.
People can meet her by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin a placement, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule sessions according to availability.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, identify what matters to them and take small values-based steps. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives practical strategies to change patterns that maintain distress. It is commonly used for low mood, panic, sleep difficulties and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and communication, which can help with intimacy and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anastasiia will discuss your needs and goals and together you will agree which methods to try. That way sessions stay tailored to what you want to change and what feels manageable for you.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation; phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can suit short check-ins, written reflection or those who prefer not to use a camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
