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.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Tanya blends Trauma-Focused Therapy with Client-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) methods in online sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process painful memories and reduce their emotional hold with pacing and grounding techniques. Client-Centred work concentrates on listening, empathy and building trust so a person can set the agenda and feel heard. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tanya will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and circumstances. She adapts techniques over time and checks in about what is or isn’t helping, so the plan stays relevant to the client’s needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skills practice, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or when someone prefers not to be on camera, and short live chat or messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and mobility issues, while keeping the focus on practical progress and flexible access.
