About Tanya
counsellor, BACP, 10 years' experience. Tanya Perrin works in the United Kingdom and helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems and ADHD.
Tanya frames work around the person in front of her. She uses a mix of talking therapies so sessions focus on what the client needs that week. Conversations can cover feelings, patterns, past events and practical skills to reduce distress.
She has a decade of practice and experience that includes supporting people affected by cancer and those facing bereavement. Her background also includes school-based counselling with children and young adults and work with people who have complex mental health needs.
Common themes she addresses are relationships, loss, trauma and problems with mood or anger. Tanya draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to help with unhelpful thoughts and sleep problems. She also uses client-centred and existential ideas to talk about meaning, values and life choices.
Sessions usually include listening, reflective feedback and practical exercises such as grounding or breathing work. The counsellor adapts the pace to the person and offers options such as skills practice or exploring difficult memories when needed.
People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first meeting. Tanya works in English and accepts international clients. Details about session costs are provided through the subscription model and vary with location.
How Tanya uses talking therapies online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's perspective. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people find their own ways to move forward. This approach suits people who want time to make sense of feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Tanya may offer practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and improve sleep or reduce anxiety. These techniques can be useful for stress, worry and mood problems.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving responses to crisis. Simple skills from DBT such as distress tolerance and emotion regulation can be practised in sessions and used between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tanya will discuss options with the client and decide together what to try first. That choice is based on the person's goals, preferences and what feels most useful at the time.
Session arrangements are not specified in the original biography, so confirm the exact formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use these benefits to help people keep therapy consistent alongside everyday life.
