Tanya Perrin, BACP

Tanya Perrin is a counsellor who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits that shape daily life. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and anger. Tanya uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people find small changes that make a difference. Tanya has been practising for 10 years in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She has worked with people facing complex mental health challenges and has offered counselling in schools and for cancer patients and their families. Those experiences inform a grounded, flexible way of working. Sessions tend to centre on what is happening day to day and what keeps problems repeating. Tanya draws on cognitive behavioural approaches to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses client-centred listening so people feel heard while they work out what matters most to them. When appropriate, she brings in DBT skills to manage strong emotions and mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity. Existential ideas are used to look at values, meaning and the life choices people are facing. Practical coping strategies are offered for sleep, overwhelm and concentration difficulties such as those that come with ADHD. Tanya aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s needs. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s goals guide the work. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Tanya uses client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy in ways that can suit remote conversations. Client-centred therapy focuses on empathic listening and following what matters to the person, helping them to find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts and everyday habits and offers clear exercises to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which methods feel most helpful, based on goals, preferences and how problems show up day to day. This collaborative step helps tailor sessions so they address sleep, concentration, overwhelming emotions or relationship difficulties. The practical benefits of online sessions mainly involve fitting therapy into everyday life. Many people find remote work easier to schedule around family, work or medical appointments, and it can reduce travel time.
