About Tanya
Tanya Perrin is a counsellor who works from a client-centred perspective. She focuses on the person in front of her and adapts conversations and approaches to what each individual needs. Tanya brings ten years of practice in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, which she lists as her main credential.
Her background includes work with people facing stress, anxiety and anger. She has supported those coping with grief, sleep difficulties, intimacy concerns and ADHD. Tanya has also worked with people affected by trauma and abuse, and with those dealing with long-term illness and chronic pain.
Tanya has particular experience supporting people affected by cancer and those needing palliative care, having completed Macmillan Cancer Support related certificates. She has also worked in school settings with children and young adults and has supported people who have experienced sexual abuse, self-harm and dissociation.
In sessions she draws on Client-Centred Therapy alongside cognitive and mindfulness-based techniques. She aims to tailor conversation and practical exercises to match each person’s needs. The room is described as a place to talk through feelings, try grounding and mindfulness skills, and test different ways of managing distress.
Tanya emphasises respect, sensitivity and compassion. She encourages small, manageable steps toward change and works with people to set goals that fit their life. The aim is to support and empower people as they work through difficult moments.
Client-centred and practical approaches for online care
Tanya draws on client-centred therapy, which puts the person’s experience at the heart of each session and lets the conversation shape what comes next. This approach helps people feel heard and guides shared decisions about what to work on.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and try new coping steps, useful for anxiety, sleep problems and anger. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills are used as needed to teach emotional regulation and grounding techniques that help with intense feelings and distress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Tanya will discuss goals and preferences with clients and together decide which techniques to try. The process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Please confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the therapist’s biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it straightforward to combine talking, breathing exercises and practical tasks between meetings to keep progress going.
