About Elroy

Elroy Tan is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. He also supports those dealing with self-esteem struggles, LGBT-related concerns, addictions and relationship or intimacy questions. His style is straightforward and encouraging, aiming to make the first steps feel manageable.

Elroy believes each person knows their story best. He works alongside clients to identify strengths and build practical ways to handle difficult moments. Sessions focus on small, achievable changes rather than big, sudden overhauls.

Background and approach

He keeps weekday business hours, offering attention and follow-up during Monday to Friday. If contacted outside those times, he responds on the next working day. This helps keep boundaries clear and scheduling predictable.

With five years of experience, Elroy has spent time helping people with grief, parenting stress, career pressures and compassion fatigue. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address sleeping or eating problems, anger, and coping with life changes. Practical tools and steady conversation are common parts of his work.

Elroy is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. People connect with him by selecting the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions.

He aims to make starting therapy as simple as possible. That first step often feels hard, and he recognises the courage it takes to begin.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Elroy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in straightforward ways. One approach focuses on practical skills for managing stress and anxiety, teaching simple breathing, grounding and behavioural strategies that can be practised between sessions. Another approach emphasises talking through traumatic memories and reactions at a steady pace, helping people build coping skills and regain control over daily routines.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what feels helpful and what does not, so therapy stays focused on useful change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging can suit people who prefer written reflection or want support between scheduled sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, travel or family life.
