About Tanya

Tanya Ellis works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain and trauma and abuse. She provides straightforward support for life changes, addictions, self-esteem struggles and eating concerns. Tanya aims to make the first steps feel manageable and calm for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.

Tanya draws on seven years of practice across an agency, a hospice and personal work in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and uses those frameworks to guide her practice.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and centred on what each person needs in that moment. Her style is warm, open and practical. Tanya focuses on building a trusting working relationship and then uses approaches that fit each person's situation.

That may include looking at thoughts and behaviours, exploring emotions in relationships, or working on values and action plans. She often blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-focused ideas. This lets her combine practical strategies with space to process feelings and difficult memories.

Sessions typically cover coping skills, communication patterns and steps to manage symptoms day to day. Tanya also attends to areas such as caregiver stress, cultural concerns, guilt and shame, panic and obsessive thoughts. She works collaboratively so each plan matches personal goals and life circumstances.

The emphasis is on steady progress and on tools people can use between sessions.

Ways of working Tanya names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Working with therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. It is often used when anxiety, low mood or avoidance are getting in the way of everyday life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives clear strategies to reduce symptoms such as panic, compulsions or persistent negative thinking. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people name and process strong emotions to improve connection and emotional understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tanya will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will choose or combine approaches that fit best. That collaborative planning helps make sessions relevant from the start and lets methods be adjusted over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions suit those with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or for people who find written communication easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
