About Tanya

Tanya McCann is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who combines several approaches to support people through stress, anxiety, grief and low mood. She holds BACP and has four years of professional experience. Tanya aims to make the first step feel manageable and offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk about what matters most to the client.

Her work is integrative, which means she draws on different therapy methods to suit the individual.

Background and approach

She often uses client-centred listening to build trust and cognitive behavioural ideas to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Tanya also uses psychodynamic thinking to look at patterns that may repeat over time. Tanya helps people facing a wide range of concerns.

These include coping with life changes, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, addictions, eating-related issues, anger and career stress. Trauma and abuse are also listed among her focus areas, along with mood conditions such as bipolar and depression.

In a first meeting she aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken without fear of being judged. Conversations are practical and down to earth, with a focus on what the person wants to change and small steps that can help. She supports people through both short-term issues and longer journeys of personal discovery.

Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Tanya uses an individualised plan that adapts as goals and needs evolve, and she works collaboratively to find approaches that fit each person’s life.

How Tanya’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say and helps them feel heard. It suits people who need a safe space to talk through strong feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It breaks problems into manageable steps and offers practical tools for reducing anxiety or low mood. That makes it useful for stress, worry and changing unhelpful habits.

Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to repeating patterns and past experiences that shape current reactions. It can help someone see why they react in certain ways and open up new choices for behaviour and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tanya treats that as a collaborative process and will discuss options with each person. Together they decide which methods best match the person’s goals, needs and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls let people keep visual contact for a full session, while phone sessions can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, managing ongoing thoughts between meetings, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity and fit therapy into everyday life.
