About Tanya
Tanya Ellis is a counsellor who helps people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain and major life changes. She works with concerns such as grief, stress, addictions and self-esteem. Tanya presents a calm and open manner that many people find easy to talk with.
Tanya draws on seven years of clinical experience in agency, hospice and independent practice settings across the United Kingdom. Her listed credentials include BACP and NCPS, which reflect her professional registrations.
Background and approach
She offers a straightforward, person-focused style rather than a one-size-fits-all method. In sessions she blends practical tools with space to talk and reflect. Techniques from cognitive behavioural work are used alongside client-centred listening and attachment-informed thinking.
Tanya aims to help people notice patterns, try small changes and build more helpful responses to difficult feelings. She often supports people through loss, career transitions and shifts in identity. Work may include practical coping strategies for anxiety, step-by-step planning after a loss, or examining relationship patterns that keep causing pain.
Tanya encourages collaboration on goals so sessions feel relevant and achievable. People who value a warm, straightforward counsellor tend to do well with her approach. She describes herself as genuine and compassionate, and focuses on tailoring each plan to the person in front of her.
Small steps taken consistently are presented as the route to clearer thinking and steadier mood.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tanya will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods feel most useful. That collaborative process means plans can be adjusted as progress is made or needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video works well for in-depth conversation, phone can suit shorter check-ins, and messaging can be useful for quick reflections or when a quieter, non‑live option is needed. These formats make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel, while allowing the therapist to use the same practical tools and reflective dialogue as in face-to-face work.
