Anastasiia Makarova, BACP

Anastasiia Makarova is a cognitive-behavioral therapist based in the United Kingdom who brings four years of clinical experience to her practice. She focuses on depressive disorders, including cases of treatment-resistant depression, and offers structured, evidence-informed interventions for persistent low mood, feelings of hopelessness, diminished interest in activities, sleep disruption, difficulties with daily organization, and changes in appetite or weight.

Drawing on contemporary findings in neuroscience and medicine, Anastasiia integrates empirically supported methods to create a tailored treatment plan for each person she works with. She maintains professional engagement through participation in international conferences and holds membership in psychological associations in both the UK and the United States. She also holds BACP credentials - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflect her commitment to recognized professional standards.

Anastasiia frames therapy as a collaborative process that combines practical strategies and empathic support. She invites individuals seeking a science-informed, structured pathway through depression and related challenges to arrange a consultation and explore whether her approach fits their needs.

Therapeutic approaches delivered through online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice internal experiences without getting stuck in them and to take value-driven actions - it can help with anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes by building psychological flexibility.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is commonly used for mood disorders, anxiety, sleep problems, and difficulties with daily functioning by teaching practical skills and strategies.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational patterns affect current relationships and emotional responses, offering a useful framework for addressing intimacy issues, attachment concerns, abandonment, and family dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and Anastasiia will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences. Registered professionals often blend techniques to create a personalised plan rather than applying a single method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access care from different locations, and maintain continuity of support. These options allow therapists and clients to focus on progress and consistent engagement without sacrificing accessibility.
