About Tania
Dr. Tania Muthen is a psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). She has 16 years’ experience working across clinical and hospital settings and brings that background into one-to-one therapy.
Her approach aims to help people who are struggling with mood and stress-related problems, including depression and anxiety. She blends several evidence-based approaches to shape a plan that fits each person. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps.
Background and approach
People can expect a calm, direct style that encourages reflection and manageable change. Tania has worked in both independent practice and hospital settings. Her recent role has been as a Consultant Psychologist in a personal hospital, and she previously led a department in a government hospital in South Africa for 13 years.
She has also provided therapy within medical and oncology services. In session she commonly uses Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Person-Centred methods, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Narrative Therapy. These approaches are used to address mood disorders, panic and trauma symptoms, and patterns that repeat in relationships.
Common areas she supports include depression, bipolar mood difficulties, stress, anger, relationship strain, guilt and shame, loneliness and panic. She also helps people work through adjustment after separation, coping with loss and rebuilding a sense of self. If someone is feeling overwhelmed, she helps them reflect on how they relate to themselves and others.
The focus is on small, steady changes that build new ways of coping and clearer thinking.

Online support
Person-Centred work offers a space to be heard and understood without judgement. It helps people explore their feelings and regain self-direction, which can be useful alongside more structured techniques. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are also used to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance and improved interpersonal skills for people struggling with strong moods or relationship difficulties.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, review what has helped before and adjust methods as therapy progresses. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques fit best for current challenges and practical needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit shorter breaks or lower bandwidth, chat can suit quick check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
