About Tanya

Tanya Perrin is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 10 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, anger and relationship concerns, and she lists life purpose among her interests. Tanya also has experience supporting people with ADHD and sleep difficulties.

Her background includes counselling in healthcare settings, including work with cancer patients and their families, and time spent supporting children and young adults in school contexts. She has provided one-to-one support for people who have experienced trauma, abuse and domestic violence, and has worked with people living with chronic illness and long-term health problems.

Tanya uses a mix of approaches in conversation. She relies on client-centred listening alongside practical tools from cognitive behavioural work and skills from dialectical behaviour approaches. She also draws on existential ideas and mindfulness practices when they fit the person's goals.

In sessions she aims to talk through what is most troubling right now and to try small, testable changes that might ease symptoms or improve daily routines. She can help people manage intrusive thoughts, reduce anxiety-driven behaviours, and find ways to approach difficult conversations with others.

People who come because they feel stuck after a job change, a loss, or a relationship shift can expect straightforward, scheduled conversations. Tanya asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and to book a first session through the online therapy options. Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches work in remote sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on careful listening and helping people say what matters most. It helps when someone needs clearer thinking about their feelings and relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical experiments to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. It suits worries, intrusive thoughts and routine problems. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tanya will discuss options with the person and decide together which approaches to try based on current goals and what feels manageable. The emphasis is on testing small changes and using skills that fit daily life.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available ways to meet before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Tanya uses her therapeutic approaches to adapt sessions to the constraints of remote work, for example focusing on breathing and grounding exercises that transfer well to short video or phone conversations.
