About Tanya

Tanya Perrin is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people find practical ways forward. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger and self-esteem difficulties. She also supports people facing intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems and ADHD.

Tanya is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, commonly known as BACP. With ten years of experience in the United Kingdom, Tanya draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs.

Background and approach

She combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, mindfulness and existential thinking to address unhelpful patterns and build coping skills. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than technical jargon. Tanya has worked with people affected by cancer and in palliative care settings, and she holds Macmillan Cancer Support certificates in loss and bereavement.

She has also provided counselling in schools and supported people with complex mental health needs alongside psychiatric services. These experiences shape a practical, steady way of working. In sessions she pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, communication difficulties, control issues and dissociation when they arise.

Therapy may include grounding techniques, mindfulness practice and tools from CBT or DBT to manage intense emotions and improve daily functioning. People who choose Tanya can expect compassionate, straightforward conversations and collaboratively set goals. She aims to tailor sessions to each person's situation and to help them develop skills they can use between meetings.

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 and how they work online

Client-centred therapy starts from where the person is and emphasises being heard and understood. In practice this means the counsellor follows your pace and priorities, helping you make sense of your concerns and set achievable goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and teaches concrete tools to reduce anxiety or manage sleep and mood problems. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for tolerating strong emotions and improving emotional regulation, which can be useful for anger, self-harm urges and intense stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tanya will discuss different methods with you and decide together which fits your needs, goals and what feels most helpful. The plan may change as you progress and new priorities emerge, and this is treated as a collaborative process.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives or mobility limits. Video calls let you use visual cues and a fuller conversation, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are suited to short check-ins, written reflection or when a written pace feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into work breaks, appointments or caregiving schedules and to keep continuity when travel or relocation would otherwise disrupt care.
