About Tanya
Tanya Hend works on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, self‑esteem, career matters, bipolar difficulties, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue and ADHD. She uses a conversational, client-centred approach and also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques. Tanya is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of counselling experience.
Tanya focuses on clear, practical conversations. She helps people name what is worrying them, look at how it affects day-to-day life, and try different ways of responding. Sessions include listening, reflection and collaborative planning of next steps. Cognitive behavioural ideas may be introduced to help manage unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns.
Her style is straightforward and person-focused. Tanya aims to create time in sessions for people to talk through difficult experiences and work out manageable changes. She notices how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and uses that to plan small experiments between sessions.
Tanya has experience working with trauma and abuse and supports people dealing with relationship strain and family conflict. She also offers coaching-style work for career questions and coping with life changes.

Approaches used in online counselling and how they help
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities and uses listening and reflection to help them clarify what matters. This approach suits people who want a supportive conversational space to work through feelings and decisions.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is practical and often involves trying small experiments or exercises between sessions to change unhelpful patterns and ease distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tanya will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and will help decide which methods to use. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as work progresses.
Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a session during a lunch break. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions without video when bandwidth is limited. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking.
