How Tanya works
Her background includes supporting people facing grief, trauma and abuse, and she has worked with those affected by illness and chronic pain. She has also carried out counselling in school settings and worked alongside psychiatric services. Tanya draws on several approaches.
Client-centred work puts the person’s pace and values first. Cognitive behavioural techniques help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and routine patterns. Mindfulness and grounding strategies are used to reduce overwhelm and improve sleep.
Her practice also addresses intimacy-related issues, low self-esteem and challenges linked to attention difficulties such as ADHD. Tanya can help people process separation, family conflict and the emotional effects of illness or caregiving responsibilities. Sessions aim to be practical and steady.
Tanya tailors conversations and strategies to each person’s needs. She focuses on building skills people can use between sessions as well as exploring difficult feelings in the room.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery
Tanya uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on understanding the person’s viewpoint and building a trusting conversation at the person’s pace. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through feelings and decisions.She also applies cognitive behavioural therapy, a hands-on method that helps people spot patterns of thinking and behaviour that add to distress, and then practice different responses. CBT can be useful for anxiety, sleep problems and anger management. Dialectical behaviour therapy elements are used to teach skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tanya will discuss goals and preferences and tailor techniques collaboratively. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health-related constraints and to keep continuity when life is busy.
