About Tanya

Tanya Joseph uses a client-centred approach to make therapy feel personal and practical. She focuses on clear, respectful listening and adapts sessions to each person’s needs. Tanya aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, sleep problems, anger and low self-esteem.

Her manner is calm and compassionate, and she encourages small steps that fit everyday life. Tanya has nine years of experience working in the United Kingdom and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Background and approach

She draws on mindfulness techniques to help people notice and steady strong emotions. She also uses narrative methods to help people make sense of difficult experiences and find new ways to tell their story. Her work often includes solution-focused conversations to shape practical next steps.

Somatic ideas are used when physical tension or bodily reactions are part of the problem. Tanya tailors conversations so they match what a person wants to achieve, whether that is coping with grief, managing compassion fatigue, or improving sleep. Sessions are framed as a collaboration.

Tanya supports people dealing with addiction, relationship strain, parenting pressures, career changes, bipolar, depression and ADHD among other concerns. She also addresses areas such as attachment issues, codependency and chronic health-related stress. Her straightforward style aims to make therapy easy to use for busy lives.

People can expect supportive listening, clear options to try between sessions, and help building everyday routines that feel manageable.

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.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centred therapy puts the person’s priorities first. In sessions the counsellor listens closely and follows what matters most to you, helping you set practical goals and decide what to try next. This approach helps with anxiety, stress and relationship worries by making therapy directly relevant to daily life.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and body sensations. Short practices used in sessions can reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus. Narrative therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and try out alternative ways of understanding hard experiences, which can be useful after trauma or during major life changes.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with you to choose or combine approaches based on your needs, goals and preferences. This is a shared process so adjustments can be made as you go.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, reflective writing or more frequent contact between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine and to pick the format that feels most comfortable.
