About Tanya
Tanya Ellis is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS and has seven years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She sees people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, addictions and major life changes. Tanya also notes a focus on life purpose, attachment issues and multicultural concerns.
She keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. Tanya uses client-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural techniques to help people identify what matters and change unhelpful patterns. She draws on emotionally focused and attachment-based ideas when relationships or connection feel central to the problem.
In practice she listens for practical patterns that get in the way of daily life. That can mean looking at thought habits, emotional reactions or how someone manages stress and responsibility. She offers strategies to try between meetings as well as time to talk things through in the session itself.
Tanya’s background includes time at a local agency, hospice work and private practice in Buckinghamshire. Those settings inform how she works with grief, end-of-life concerns and carers dealing with stress.
People often come to her when they feel stuck after a change at work, a relationship loss, or when anxiety and low mood limit day-to-day functioning. Tanya aims to help clients notice small shifts that add up to clearer priorities and steadier routines.
Practical matters are part of the work. She discusses goals, options and what to try next, and reviews progress as sessions continue. Those wanting to begin are invited to follow the site booking steps to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Tanya’s methods translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters and take small actions that reflect those values despite difficult thoughts. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling unsure about direction. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how past and present relationships shape emotional responses and can help when connection or trust is a central concern.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tanya discusses different methods with each client and makes decisions together based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as issues change over time.
Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins if needed, and remove travel time. When sessions use video it supports face-to-face conversation; audio-only can be a simpler option when bandwidth or cameras are impractical. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and conversational tools to work in a remote format, helping clients apply practical changes in everyday life.
