About Tanya

Tanya McCann is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of clinical experience. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, low mood, grief and confidence. Tanya aims to help people feel understood and to find practical ways forward.

She describes her work as integrative, which means she draws on different approaches to suit each person. That might mean focusing on present thoughts and behaviours one week, and looking at past patterns the next.

Background and approach

The plan is shaped around the person's needs rather than one fixed method. Tanya has supported people with issues including addictions, relationship and intimacy questions, parenting strain, eating concerns, bipolar and ADHD related struggles. She also works with trauma, abuse, compassion fatigue and career or anger-related difficulties.

These areas often overlap, and she helps people untangle them at a manageable pace. Sessions are conversational and practical. Tanya listens first, then suggests small steps to try between meetings.

She encourages gentle experimentation and reviews what helps over time. Her approach suits people who want an empathic listener alongside clear ideas for change. Taking the first step can feel hard; Tanya focuses on making that step feel achievable and steady.

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.

Approach to online therapy and how it helps

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person without judgement. It helps people who need a steady, accepting space to talk through feelings and work out what matters to them.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep difficulties going. It is practical and aims to try small changes that can reduce anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits.

Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to past patterns and relationships that affect current feelings. It can help people notice repeating themes and make different choices in day-to-day life.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, then suggest which methods to try. Plans are reviewed together and adjusted as needed so the work fits how the person prefers to engage.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video lets people speak face to face when they can, phone can be useful when less bandwidth is available, and messaging suits shorter check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and busy schedules, and they let people pick what feels most manageable for them.
