About Tania
Counsellor and psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). Dr. Tania Muthen has 16 years of experience working with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, anger, bipolar and depression. She offers talking therapy in the United Kingdom and works with people facing a wide range of mood and adjustment difficulties.
Dr Muthen draws on several evidence-based methods. She commonly uses Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Person-Centred approaches, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Narrative Therapy. These are blended to suit each person's needs, and she works collaboratively to set goals and a plan.
Her background includes roles in hospital settings and clinical leadership. She has provided in-patient mental health rehabilitation and led a department in a government hospital in South Africa, as well as working in medical and oncology settings. Those roles inform how she recognises and responds to complex presentations.
Sessions focus on practical steps and understanding patterns of thought, feeling and behaviour. Dr Muthen helps people talk through mood problems, panic and social anxiety, coping after loss, anger and issues around guilt and forgiveness. She also supports work on self-compassion and rebuilding identity after separation.
Her way of working is collaborative and structured. People can expect to set targets, try out new skills between sessions and review progress together. If you want to explore whether this approach suits you, the pathway to an initial session is set out on her profile.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Dr Muthen commonly uses Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy and Narrative Therapy in her clinical work. Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses, which can help with anxiety, panic and mood problems. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships and can help when someone wants to change how past events shape their present behaviour.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit best with their goals and preferences. That choice is revisited as sessions progress so plans can be adjusted based on what helps most.
If you are considering online work, check the profile for the exact session options before booking. Where formats are not listed, confirm whether video or phone sessions are offered. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a lower-bandwidth option for sessions.
