About Tanya
Tanya Perrin BACP counsellor has ten years of practice in the United Kingdom and focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems and ADHD. She works with people who are dealing with loss, relationship problems and the practical effects of illness. Sessions aim to be direct and practical, helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses.
Tanya blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centred listening to help people spot thinking patterns that keep problems going. She also brings in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills for managing strong emotions and mindfulness exercises for grounding. These methods are used alongside existential and psychodynamic ideas when helpful for understanding recurring life problems.
Her background includes counselling in health settings, work with cancer patients and families, and school-based support for children and young adults. She holds a BACP registration and has completed Macmillan-related training in palliative care, loss and bereavement. That mix informs a practical style aimed at everyday coping and clearer decision-making.
In a typical first meeting she listens to what matters now, outlines some focused steps, and agrees short-term goals. Follow-up sessions often include behavioural experiments, thought records or grounding practices to test changes between appointments.
People choosing her can expect structured sessions that combine talking, skills practice and brief homework when useful. Before booking, confirm current session options and timings to make sure they fit daily life.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps clarify priorities and build a practical plan. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and uses small experiments to test new ways of responding to stress and anxiety. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for tolerating intense feelings and improving emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day demands and decide together which methods to try first. Sessions can shift as progress and needs become clearer, keeping the plan practical and focused on problem-solving.
The details of how online sessions run should be confirmed before booking. If you are considering remote work, check which session formats are offered and what fits your schedule. Online meetings can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when a short practical update is needed. Ask about available session lengths and any preparatory steps when you arrange your first meeting.
