About Tania

Dr. Tania Muthen works with stress, anxiety, mood difficulties and relationship problems using evidence-based therapeutic techniques and collaborative planning. She is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and has 16 years of clinical experience.

Dr Muthen offers practical, structured therapy that focuses on current problems and patterns that keep difficulties going. She commonly uses Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Narrative Therapy to help people understand thoughts, feelings and behaviours and build different coping skills.

Her background includes work in hospital settings and private practice. For two years she has worked as a Consultant Psychologist in a private hospital providing in-patient mental health rehabilitation. Before that she spent 13 years as Head of Department in a government hospital in South Africa.

She has also worked in medical clinics and an adult oncology unit, providing therapy to people after new medical diagnoses and during medical treatment. This experience informs her approach to mood disorders, adjustment after illness, and coping with loss and grief.

Typical issues she supports include depression, bipolar conditions, panic and social anxiety, anger, control issues, guilt and shame, isolation, post-traumatic stress, and relationship difficulties. Sessions aim to help people notice unhelpful patterns, practise new skills, and make manageable changes.

To begin, people are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The counsellor then works collaboratively to agree goals and a treatment plan based on the person’s needs and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Dr Muthen commonly uses Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns to reduce symptoms such as anxiety and panic. She also uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques that teach practical emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for intense moods and relationship difficulties.

She aims to work with each person to find the best approach. That means discussing what feels most useful, trying methods in session, and adapting plans based on progress and preference. The process is collaborative and paced to the individual’s goals.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, and can reduce time spent on commuting. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or phone-only conversations when that better suits someone’s day. Registered or accredited professionals generally use online sessions to provide continuity of care and practical access to therapeutic support.
