Tanya Perrin, BACP

Tanya Perrin is a qualified integrative counsellor and therapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), bringing ten years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, sleeping difficulties, and ADHD, alongside many additional focus areas such as attachment and abandonment concerns, chronic pain and illness, caregiver stress, communication and family problems, and responses to separation or domestic violence.

Her practice includes experience supporting psychiatric patients with complex needs as well as counselling cancer patients and their families, and providing counselling for children and young people within school settings. She has completed Macmillan Cancer Support certificates in palliative care and in loss and bereavement, which inform her specialist work with people affected by illness and bereavement.

Working in an integrative way, she draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness, existential therapy, solution-focused techniques, and grounding methods to create a tailored plan for each person. She aims to treat everyone with sensitivity, respect, and compassion, adapting the therapeutic dialogue to each individual’s unique needs. Tanya supports and empowers people to take steps toward a more fulfilling and manageable life, offering practical tools alongside emotional support.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a non-directive, empathetic approach in which the therapist offers understanding and acceptance while the client explores their own feelings and goals. This approach can be helpful for relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and processing grief.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured method that helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for issues such as anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and anger management by teaching practical skills and coping strategies.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and sensations, supporting emotional regulation and reduced reactivity. It can be beneficial for stress, chronic pain, and managing overwhelming emotions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Licensed professionals and therapists typically work collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adjustments can be made as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexible access to support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments, and they increase accessibility for clients who are remote or need more frequent check-ins between sessions.
