About Tanya
Tanya Ellis is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and listed with NCPS, with seven years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and feelings of guilt and shame. Tanya also addresses issues like self-esteem, eating concerns, and coping with life changes.
Tanya draws on client-centred and cognitive behavioural ways of working to help people talk through what is happening. She uses straightforward strategies alongside reflective conversation. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, trying small practical steps and noticing what changes or helps.
Her background includes agency and hospice work as well as private practice experience across a range of life issues. That variety informs how she notices practical pressures and emotional patterns that come up in everyday life. She also brings approaches that consider attachment and strong emotional moments in relationships.
In sessions she often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and Emotionally-Focused Therapy thinking with client-centred listening. That mix is used to support people managing persistent shame or guilt, grief after loss, relationship strain, or recurring anxiety and panic. Work can include attention to communication and boundaries.
Tanya aims to work collaboratively on clear goals while allowing time for the hard feelings that come up. People can expect a conversational style, practical exercises between sessions when useful, and ongoing review of progress and next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being dominated by them, and it supports action guided by personal values. This can be useful for persistent shame, guilt or anxiety that keeps someone stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns formed with important people and helps identify how those patterns affect current relationships and emotional reactions.Tanya treats choosing an approach as a collaborative task. She will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, try out methods, and adjust what they do together based on what helps. That means the plan can shift as understanding grows and practical needs change.
Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it fits around busy schedules, removes travel time, and makes it easier to have shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to maintain continuity of care when life circumstances make in-person meetings difficult, and a combination of conversational sessions and short practical exercises can be used to suit everyday life.
