About Tanya

Tanya Hend is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, low mood, anger, self-esteem concerns, work challenges, bipolar issues, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She uses a straightforward, respectful style and aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are worried or unsure.

Tanya works in a way that responds to the person in front of her. She listens without judgement and helps people say what matters most. Conversations lead to practical steps and clearer choices rather than long lectures. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and circumstances.

Her background includes three years of professional experience and she holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP. Tanya combines client-centred listening with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy when helpful. This means she can focus on emotions and experience while also working on thoughts and behaviours that get in the way.

People often come for short-term help with a specific problem or for ongoing support during a life change. Tanya aims to make sessions useful from the first meeting, offering clear goals and small actions to try between meetings. She also supports those needing coaching-style guidance alongside counselling.

If you prefer sessions in English or Arabic, Tanya can carry out work in both languages. To begin, clients use the site Start Therapy button and follow a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a session.

How Tanya blends human-centred and practical online therapy

Tanya works from a client-centred position that places the person’s experience at the heart of each session. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting feelings and helping people find their own answers through guided conversation, which can help with emotional distress and relationship difficulties.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions influence each other. CBT techniques can support managing anxiety, low mood, unhelpful behaviour patterns and coping with stress by breaking problems into smaller, practical steps.

Choosing the right way of working is part of the process. Tanya will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then decide together whether more client-centred sessions, CBT techniques, or a mix will be best. The work is collaborative and adjusted as needs change.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not specify formats here. Many people find online work useful because it can fit more easily into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can also make it simpler to arrange meetings across time zones for international clients. Ask about languages, scheduling and any practical questions when you complete the matching questionnaire.
