About Tanya

Tanya Perrin works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self-esteem and intimacy-related issues using an integrative counselling approach. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 10 years of professional experience.

Tanya offers direct, practical conversations focused on what is causing distress and what can ease it. She uses a mix of person-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to help people manage overwhelming thoughts and strong emotions. Sessions also cover coping skills for sleep difficulties and attention differences such as ADHD.

Her background includes counselling people affected by cancer and supporting those facing palliative care, loss and bereavement. She has worked in community and educational settings and with people who have complex mental health needs. This experience informs how she adapts approaches to different situations.

In sessions she aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns, practise new ways of thinking and learn grounding skills for high distress moments. Tanya also draws on existential ideas to help people talk about meaning, choice and values when life feels uncertain.

Clients can expect short, clear goals agreed together and a mixture of practical exercises and open conversation. To begin, clients follow the site's matching and booking process to arrange a first meeting.

How her approaches fit with online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive listening and helping people express what matters to them; it suits issues like relationship strain, grief and general distress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works with thoughts and behaviours to reduce symptoms of anxiety or sleep problems and typically includes practical exercises and homework. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can help with anger, self-harm urges and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Tanya will collaborate with each person to decide whether more CBT techniques, mindfulness practice or DBT-style skills are helpful, and she will adjust the focus as goals and needs change.

Confirm the session formats before booking, because the biography does not list specific options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study and caring responsibilities, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use written exercises and mindfulness practices between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can support progress in these ways, and Tanya uses these methods to make sessions practical and relevant to daily life.
