About Tanya
Tanya Ellis is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has seven years of practice in the United Kingdom and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and the effects of trauma and abuse.
She helps people who are coping with loss, major life changes, or difficulties with eating and self-esteem. Tanya also supports those dealing with addictions, grief, LGBT issues and panic attacks. Her work pays attention to attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and communication problems.
Tanya uses a blend of approaches in sessions. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to address emotional patterns and attachment, and combines this with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when helpful. Client-Centred principles guide how she listens and responds in the room.
Sessions focus on talking through what feels stuck and trying practical ways to manage distress. She introduces exercises and strategies people can use between meetings, and checks in on how those methods suit daily life. Tanya aims for clear, direct conversation rather than technical language.
Her background includes work in an agency, hospice, and private practice in Buckinghamshire. Tanya works with people from different cultural backgrounds and welcomes international clients who speak English.
How Tanya uses different approaches in online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming hard-to-reach emotions and on how attachment patterns shape relationships. It can help people notice repeating emotional responses and try new ways of relating to themselves and others.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills for accepting difficult feelings while identifying personal values and committed actions. It is often useful for anxiety, stress and problems that involve avoidance or rumination.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It typically includes short exercises and experiments people can practise between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tanya works collaboratively to decide which methods fit the client’s concerns, goals and preferences. She reviews how techniques are working and adjusts the plan together with the client.
Please confirm the current online session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow quieter check-ins during a work break, or mean shorter meetings when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework so they work in remote sessions and in everyday routines.
