About Anastasia
Anastasia Seale is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who draws on several approaches to help people navigate parenting challenges and relationship strain. She holds BACP accreditation, and brings seven years of practice to conversations about stress, grief and emotional overwhelm. She works in straightforward language and keeps sessions focused on what is useful now.
Parents can expect time to talk through current struggles, practical ideas to try between sessions, and space to process painful experiences such as loss or trauma.
Background and approach
Her background includes supporting people with attachment difficulties, intergenerational trauma and issues around intimacy and communication. She also helps with anxiety, depression, anger and coping with life changes. Anastasia tailors each session so therapy fits the person rather than forcing a set model.
Sessions can use different therapeutic ideas depending on what helps most. She draws on attachment-based thinking to look at relationship patterns, client-centred work to follow the client's pace, and cognitive techniques to address unhelpful thinking. This mix is aimed at practical change and deeper understanding.
She offers appointments in English and Russian and provides a calm, respectful space for parents feeling worn down or unsure. If someone is ready to start, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a time that suits them.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why certain interactions trigger strong reactions and supports gentler ways of relating.Client-centred therapy prioritises the person's own pace and priorities. The counsellor follows what the client brings, offering empathy and reflection to help make sense of feelings and choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people see facial cues and work more like an in-person meeting, while phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins, brief reflections between sessions or times when writing feels more helpful. These options aim to make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around family life and work commitments.
