About Tanya
Tanya Ellis helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She supports individuals dealing with grief, addiction, self-esteem difficulties and life transitions. Tanya works with cultural and LGBT concerns as well as a wide range of mood and panic-related problems.
She uses a warm, direct style that keeps conversations clear and grounded. Sessions focus on small, practical steps as well as understanding patterns that cause pain. Tanya draws on cognitive behavioural ideas alongside client-centred listening to make therapy feel straightforward and useful.
How Tanya works
Her background includes work at an agency, a hospice and in independent practice in the United Kingdom. That mix gives experience with end-of-life matters and complex loss as well as everyday stresses. Tanya holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has seven years of clinical practice.
In sessions she pays attention to attachment and how past relationships shape current behaviour. Emotionally-focused work helps when relationships and connection are the main concern. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used to help people act in line with what matters to them despite painful thoughts or feelings.
Tanya aims to tailor each plan to the person in front of her. She will listen for strengths, set practical goals and adjust techniques to fit daily life. The emphasis is on steady progress and clearer choices rather than quick fixes.

Online support options
How Tanya's approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It supports people wanting to live according to their values while facing anxiety or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and close relationships shape current ways of relating and helps rebuild safer, more connected patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions at the heart of relationship distress and can help people name and change unhelpful emotional responses.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Tanya will discuss goals and preferences and try different techniques to see what fits. This is a collaborative process where methods are adjusted to match what the client needs and finds helpful.
Online therapy with video, phone, live chat or text makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls let people read facial cues and work in real time. Phone sessions can be a good shorter option or for lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, reflective homework or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options provide practical flexibility while keeping the focus on steady progress.
