About Volha
Counsellor Volha Stasiuliene is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with nine years' experience. She works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and addictions. Sessions are offered in English and Russian and she practises in the United Kingdom.
Volha believes talking clearly about what is happening can help. She listens without labelling and focuses on what a person wants to change. Her work often addresses grief, self-esteem, sleep problems, anger and eating-related issues as well as attachment and family of origin matters.
Her approach draws on client-centred practice together with cognitive behavioural methods and psychodynamic ideas. That means she combines practical skills for managing thoughts and feelings with time to look at patterns from the past. Dialectical behaviour therapy skills are also used when people need help with emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Sessions are conversational and interactive. Volha aims to be respectful and sensitive while helping people notice patterns, try small changes and build coping strategies. She does not use diagnostic labels as a way to define a person.
She works with a range of presenting issues including abandonment and attachment worries, codependency, communication and control difficulties, dissociation, domestic violence and substance issues. If you are unsure whether this is the right fit, Volha asks that you follow the site process to match and book an initial session.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the centre of the conversation. The counsellor listens and follows what is most important to the client. This approach helps with issues where someone wants to feel heard and make sense of their feelings.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers practical strategies for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties by teaching steps to test and change unhelpful thinking and routines.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, DBT, provides skills for managing intense emotions and reducing harmful reactions. It is useful when someone struggles with emotional regulation, anger or self-destructive behaviours.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Volha will discuss different methods and agree a plan together based on your needs and goals. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a week; they can reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in on a lunch break, or remove the need to be on camera if that helps someone feel more comfortable.
