About Dmitri
Dmitri Shirobokov is a BACP member counsellor in the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience working in rehabilitation settings. He works with people facing addiction, anxiety, depression and other emotional or behavioural difficulties, and also supports issues such as relationship strain, grief and career stress.
Dmitri uses an integrative, goal-orientated approach. He focuses on identifying a person’s strengths and practical needs rather than only listing problems. Sessions centre on clear goals and steps that can be tried between meetings.
He combines talking-based methods to suit the person in front of him. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to spot unhelpful patterns and test new ways of thinking. Client-centred practice keeps the focus on the person’s experience and priorities.
Dmitri has a background working internationally in rehabilitation settings. That experience informs how he responds to addiction, trauma and recovery-related challenges in ways aimed at practical progress. He also draws on existential and mindfulness ideas to help people consider values and everyday coping.
People who choose him can expect straightforward discussions about goals, concrete tools to use outside sessions and a focus on the next steps. He works in English and Russian and has experience with clients from different countries. To start, users complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange an initial session.

How his therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective. The counsellor listens with attention and helps the client set their own priorities and goals. This approach supports people who want to clarify what matters and make decisions that fit their life.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours together. It provides practical steps to test new ways of thinking and to change habits that keep problems going. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep and coping after setbacks.
Finding the right approach is part of the first conversations. Dmitri will work with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as work proceeds.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use these options to maintain continuity of care and make regular sessions more practical for people with busy schedules.
