Tanya Ellis, BACP, NCPS

Tanya Ellis is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and grief. She also supports those dealing with addiction, eating concerns, self-esteem challenges and life changes. Tanya works with carers and others who are coping with caregiver stress and its impact on daily life.

She takes a warm, open and non-judgemental approach in sessions. Tanya uses client-centred listening alongside practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice patterns and try small, manageable changes. Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters most to each person.

Tanya draws on seven years of experience in agency, hospice and private practice settings. That background means she is used to helping people through bereavement, serious life transitions and end-of-life concerns as well as relationship breakdowns and workplace stress.

Her work pays attention to attachment issues, communication problems and feelings like shame, guilt or isolation. Tanya offers space to talk about multicultural pressures and LGBT issues without making assumptions about a person’s experience.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients can be supported; please check session options before booking.

How Tanya’s approaches work online

Tanya uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client‑Centred Therapy as core parts of her work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes. Client‑centred therapy offers a listening space where the person’s experience guides the pace and focus, useful for grief, self‑esteem and carer stress.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Tanya discusses different methods with each person and agrees a way forward together. She tailors techniques to your goals and checks in regularly to see what is helpful and what needs adjusting.

Many people find online work easier to fit into a busy week, whether that means a shorter check‑in between commitments or avoiding travel time. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can usually adapt exercises, breathing work and reflective conversations for an online setting to help with practical skills, emotional processing and planning next steps.
