Anastasia SealeBACP

Anastasia Seale is a UK counsellor who draws on an integrative approach to support people through difficult life moments. She uses different ways of working to match what each person needs. Anastasia speaks English and Russian and brings seven years of practice to her work. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Anastasia often helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those facing grief, trauma and abuse, and people coping with relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Parenting challenges, infant loss, attachment issues and carer stress are also areas she addresses. Her sessions focus on listening first and then finding practical steps that make sense for everyday life. She combines client-centred listening with tools from cognitive behavioural work and psychodynamic reflection, depending on the situation. This means some weeks the focus may be on changing unhelpful thinking and other weeks on understanding patterns from the past. Anastasia aims to tailor counselling to each person rather than follow a fixed plan. She describes her style as sensitive and respectful, and she invites people to move at a pace that feels manageable. Simple goals and clear tasks are often used alongside deeper exploration. To begin, people are asked to use the platform Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Sessions are then scheduled according to the therapist's availability and the subscription terms that apply.

How Anastasia's approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections. It looks at patterns of closeness and distance and helps people change how they relate to partners or their children. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions, offering an accepting space where thoughts and feelings can be voiced and understood. This approach helps people gain clarity and self-direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and replaces them with practical strategies for coping and problem solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anastasia will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods as therapy progresses. Decisions about focus, pace and techniques are agreed together so the plan fits the person's goals and preferences.

If you are considering online counselling, please confirm the current session options before booking. The platform's Start Therapy flow will explain how to match and schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find it simpler to join from a quieter spot or to use non-video options when a lighter conversation is appropriate. Registered professionals and therapists can work effectively online when the approach and practical arrangements suit the person's needs.
