Tanya Chapman, BACP

Tanya uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps people can try between sessions. One common approach helps people spot unhelpful thought patterns and change how they respond to stress and low mood; it is useful for anxiety and depression because it targets everyday thinking and behaviour. Another approach emphasises grounding and pacing after trauma, helping a person regain a sense of safety and control through small, steady practices.

Finding the right way to work is a collaborative process. Tanya discusses different methods with each client and chooses approaches based on needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques to fit the pace the person wants and checks in regularly to see what is helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text‑based messaging. Video calls are useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check‑ins and text messaging works for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping therapy consistent.
