About Tanya

Tanya Ellis supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship problems. She helps with family tensions, coping with life changes, addiction, low self-esteem and issues around identity and LGBT concerns. Tanya works with people concerned about trauma, panic, obsessive thoughts and the strain of caregiving.

Tanya practises in the United Kingdom and has seven years of experience in local agencies, hospice work and independent practice. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions.

Background and approach

Her manner is warm, open and genuine, aimed at helping people feel understood and heard. In sessions she combines client-centred and cognitive behavioural tools with other approaches suited to the person. That can mean focusing on thoughts and behaviours, strengthening attachment patterns, or helping someone accept difficult feelings while taking valued action.

The choices are explained clearly so people know what to expect. Tanya emphasises respect, compassion and sensitivity. She believes therapy is a collaborative process and tailors plans to each person's needs and goals.

Sessions are aimed at making manageable changes rather than big, sudden shifts. People can expect straightforward conversations, practical strategies and emotional support. Tanya aims to help clients build clearer communication, steadier mood management and better coping skills for life stressors and loss.

She offers work that blends short-term strategies with deeper exploration when needed, keeping the focus on what will help the person now and in the future.

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 evidence-based approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with big life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce symptoms like panic, obsessive thinking and low mood. It often involves practical exercises to do between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, which can be useful for relationship strain and insecurity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tanya treats therapy as a collaboration and will discuss different methods with each person. Together they choose what feels most useful for the client’s goals, trying practical strategies first and exploring deeper patterns when needed.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is helpful when visual contact matters, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat suits shorter check-ins or moments when writing feels better. These options let people fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel and continue therapy from different places.
