Tanya Perrin
Understanding counsellor focused on practical change
About Tanya
Tanya Perrin is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with ten years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief and loss, anger, sleep difficulties and self-esteem concerns. Tanya also supports those dealing with intimacy-related issues and attention differences such as ADHD.
She uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. Sessions are shaped around the client’s needs, and practical steps are offered alongside talking therapies.
Background and approach
Tanya draws on cognitive and behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, and mindfulness and grounding practices to reduce tension in the moment. Past work includes supporting people affected by serious illness and loss, and counselling in community and educational settings. This background informs a calm, steady approach when someone faces complex or long-standing difficulties.
Tanya aims to be respectful and sensitive in every interaction. In sessions she helps people explore attachment and abandonment themes, manage control and communication problems, and cope with dissociation or emotional emptiness. She also addresses issues tied to chronic pain, caregiving strain, and major life changes such as divorce and separation.
Tanya takes a collaborative stance. She will listen, help you set realistic goals, and try different strategies until you find what works. The focus is on practical changes you can use day to day, and building resources to navigate difficult times.

Sessions & fees
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centred therapy is about being heard and understood. The counsellor follows your pace, reflects what you say, and helps you find your own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical ways to change patterns that cause distress. Dialectical behaviour therapy adds skills for regulating strong emotions and improving responses to stress and conflict.Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with you about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Online sessions offer flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving, health needs or travel, while still using the chosen therapeutic approaches to make steady progress.
