Tanya PerrinBACP

Tanya Perrin is a counsellor who blends several approaches to help people through painful and confusing times. She holds a BACP accreditation and has worked in the United Kingdom for 10 years, offering steady, respectful support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship problems.

She uses conversational, practical sessions to help people manage difficult feelings and day-to-day challenges. Sessions often focus on coping strategies for anxiety, ways to sleep better, managing anger, and improving self-esteem. Tanya also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse and those finding intimacy and attachment difficult.

Her background includes counselling people affected by cancer and palliative care concerns. She has worked with psychiatric services and provided school-based counselling for children and young adults in her community. That range gives her experience with both short-term practical work and longer grief or trauma work.

Tanya draws on Client-Centred ideas to make space for each person’s story, and on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot stressful thought patterns. She also uses Mindfulness and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy tools for grounding and emotion regulation. Together these approaches shape flexible plans tailored to each person’s goals.

She aims to listen without judgement and to help people find small, manageable steps toward feeling better. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist’s schedule.

How Tanya's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on making space for a person to tell their story and feel heard. It prioritises the person’s perspective and helps shape goals at a comfortable pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, DBT, offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping, including grounding and distress-tolerance techniques.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Tanya will work collaboratively to identify what feels most useful based on a person’s needs and goals. Sessions can change over time as priorities shift, and the plan is adjusted together.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking. The therapist uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, so sessions can be scheduled to fit around work, caring responsibilities and medical appointments. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, use phone audio when bandwidth is low, or fit sessions into a lunch break. Confirm the available formats when you arrange your first appointment.
