About Dmitri
Dmitri Shirobokov helps people facing addiction, anxiety, depression and stress-related problems. He also supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, career uncertainty and major life changes. Dmitri uses practical, person-focused work to help people regain a sense of direction and control.
He has 14 years of experience and holds individual membership of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, BACP. Dmitri has worked extensively in rehabilitation settings and with people from different countries.
Background and approach
His background means he is used to the ups and downs that come with recovery and life transitions. In sessions he starts by listening to what matters most to the client. He aims to identify strengths and realistic goals rather than only focusing on problems.
Conversations are straightforward and aimed at making small, achievable changes that add up over time. Dmitri draws on several approaches to suit each person. He uses client-centred techniques to foster a supportive atmosphere, cognitive behavioural ideas to tackle unhelpful thinking and existential perspectives to look at meaning and choice.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also used when helpful to build motivation and present-moment awareness. People can expect a practical, collaborative style. Dmitri offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so therapy can fit around work and family life.
He works in English and Russian and accepts international clients.

Online support
How Dmitri’s approaches work online
Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility in a person’s life. It can help when someone feels empty, stuck or overwhelmed by big life questions and wants clearer direction. Client-centred work focuses on listening and understanding the person as they are, helping build trust and self-awareness so people feel heard and valued. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and can be useful for anxiety, depression and stress by teaching practical strategies for change.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Dmitri will work collaboratively to find what fits each person’s needs and goals. He combines elements from different methods and checks in as therapy progresses to adjust techniques and priorities together.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives or mobility limits. Video calls provide a near face-to-face experience, phone sessions save bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a lunch break, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to sustain progress over time.
