Dmitri Shirobokov , BACP

He is an integrative counsellor with over twelve years of experience working in rehabilitation settings. His practice brings together a range of therapeutic ideas to support people facing emotional, social and behavioural difficulties, with a practical focus on recovery and progress.

He holds individual membership of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom, and applies that professional perspective to his work with clients. He has established a track record of successful client recovery and is experienced in delivering counselling in varied international rehabilitation environments.

His approach is goal-orientated and client-focused. He prioritises clients interests, working to identify each person s needs and strengths rather than concentrating solely on problems. He aims to help people build on their resources to move toward the changes they want to make.

Integrative approaches for online recovery and growth

He combines client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to tailor work to each person s situation. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the client s own goals and strengths guide the process - it helps with emotional difficulties, relationship concerns, and building self-esteem. CBT is a structured approach that explores the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and is useful for stress, anxiety, depression and practical coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative work. He will help clients explore which methods fit their needs, goals and personal preferences, and adapt techniques over time to reflect what is most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit counselling around work, family and location. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, goal-orientated support while giving clients choice about how and when they engage with therapy.
