About Tanya
Tanya Ellis is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems and family concerns. She also supports those coping with loss, life changes, addiction and issues around self‑esteem. Tanya draws on seven years of experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials.
Tanya aims for a warm and straightforward style. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps that can be used between meetings. She emphasises respect, compassion and sensitivity while listening closely to what each person says.
Her approach combines client‑centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas. That means clients can expect space to tell their story alongside tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. She also uses attachment‑based and emotionally focused ideas when relationships and connection are central concerns.
Tanya has worked in agency settings, in a hospice and in private practice. Those different roles have informed how she supports grief, end‑of‑life concerns and the stress of caregiving. She draws on this range of experience when tailoring plans to individual needs.
People who come to Tanya can expect a collaborative process. Together they set goals and try practical strategies, reviewing what helps and adjusting the plan as needed. The focus is on clear, manageable steps toward feeling steadier and more able to cope.
Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions by focusing on what matters and on small committed steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood or obsessive thinking. Emotionally‑Focused Therapy centres on feelings in relationships and aims to help people communicate needs more clearly and repair connection. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and together you'll decide which methods to try. This collaborative process allows adjustments if something does not feel like the right fit. Please confirm which online session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online counselling easier to fit around work and family life, and it can reduce travel time and the need to arrange childcare. It can also make short check‑ins simpler when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools such as ACT or CBT to remote sessions, using exercises, reflections and homework that fit into everyday routines.Areas of expertise
