About Elroy
Elroy Tan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. He also helps with issues linked to self-esteem, motivation and LGBT-related concerns. He writes plainly and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for someone taking that first step.
Elroy works from the view that each person knows their own story best. He looks for practical strengths a person already has and uses those as a base for change.
Background and approach
Sessions are presented as a space to talk through current problems and find small, realistic steps forward. He offers appointments Monday to Friday during standard business hours. Messages sent at weekends or after hours receive a reply on the next weekday.
This arrangement helps keep a steady rhythm to sessions and communication. With five years of professional experience, Elroy draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work. He adapts the pace to suit the person, whether they need structured tools or more open discussion.
The focus is on what clients want to change and on achievable goals. People can expect clear language and a straightforward approach in sessions. Elroy aims to reduce overwhelm by breaking problems into manageable parts.
He encourages clients to use their existing strengths while building new ways of coping.

Online support
Another approach emphasises exploring thoughts and behaviour patterns that keep problems going, then testing small changes in real life. This can help with depression, low self-esteem and motivation by creating manageable experiments to try between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and the person work together to decide which methods fit best with their goals and preferences, and that plan is reviewed over time to see what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face work and fuller discussion, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit around a busy day. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when someone prefers written reflection. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
