About Anastasia

Anastasia Seale focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, trauma and intimacy-related issues using an integrative approach. She works with adults and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Anastasia draws on several methods to suit each person's needs, including attachment-based thinking, client-centred ways of working, cognitive behavioural ideas, and psychodynamic perspectives. In practical terms this means she listens to a person’s story, notices patterns in relationships and feelings, and helps develop new ways of responding to difficult situations.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns such as parenting stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, body image, bereavement and complex grief, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication and commitment problems, and blended family challenges.

Anastasia can work with people who are coping with anger, low self-esteem, intimacy-related struggles, dissociation, and co-morbidity of mental and physical health problems. She is experienced with situations involving divorce and separation, chronic caregiving responsibilities, and ageing or geriatric issues.

Sessions are offered in English and Russian. Before booking, users should confirm current session options and costs, since fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and early bonds. In sessions this can help people understand why they react in certain ways to partners, parents or close friends and how to try different responses.

Client-centred practice focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says. This approach helps individuals explore feelings, priorities and choices at a steady pace and can suit people who need time to make sense of experiences.

Cognitive behavioural ideas target patterns of thinking and behaviour. In online meetings the counsellor and client can identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments or exercises between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and choose methods together with the client rather than imposing a single way of working.

Confirm the session formats available before booking as current options are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare or health needs, and some formats suit short check-ins or lower bandwidth needs while others allow more in-depth work.
