About Tanya
Tanya Ellis helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and grief. She also supports people dealing with trauma, addictions, eating concerns and loss. Tanya works with clients on self-esteem, coping with life changes and a wide range of mood and obsessive concerns.
She describes her style as warm, open and genuine. Sessions focus on building a trusting relationship first. From there she uses practical conversations and exercises to help people make changes they choose.
Background and approach
Tanya draws on several well-known approaches to match what each person needs. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. She also brings client-centred and attachment-based ideas to explore how relationships shape feelings and behaviour.
Her background includes practice in an agency setting, work with a hospice and independent practice experience in the United Kingdom. She has seven years of clinical experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which are listed as provided. Tanya tailors every plan to the individual.
That might mean short tools for easing panic or longer work on relationship patterns. She aims to help people regain steadiness, improve connections and find clearer direction. Sessions are conducted in English and Tanya accepts international clients.
Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different lifestyles and schedules.

How Tanya’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life transitions by teaching practical mindfulness and commitment exercises.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships affect emotions and behaviour. It can help with relationship problems, feelings of isolation and patterns that make people feel stuck.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. It is commonly used for panic, OCD-type worries, mood disorders and stress management and often involves short practical tasks between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tanya will discuss options and collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. Sessions may blend elements from different approaches to suit the individual.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and text-based messaging works for brief updates or when typing feels easier. These formats help people fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping the focus on useful, evidence-based techniques delivered by registered or accredited professionals.
