About Tanya
Tanya Perrin is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach with a strong grounding in Existential therapy. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, and trauma. Tanya also addresses anger, self-esteem and intimacy-related concerns, and supports those coping with sleep difficulties and ADHD.
With ten years of practice in the United Kingdom, Tanya draws on several approaches to suit individual needs. She blends Client-Centred methods with elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and existential ideas are woven into sessions to help people clarify values and make meaning from difficult experiences. Her background includes counselling people affected by cancer and supporting palliative care, loss and bereavement. She has worked with psychiatric patients with complex needs and has provided counselling in school settings for children and young adults.
Those experiences inform a gentle, practical style in sessions. Tanya aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person rather than following a fixed script. She focuses on listening first, then introducing tools that fit the client’s goals and life situation.
Sessions can include grounding techniques, mindfulness practices and activity-based strategies from CBT and DBT. Clients who choose Tanya can expect a respectful and compassionate approach that values the person’s perspective. She encourages practical steps and reflection that help people move toward clearer choices and a more manageable daily life.

Online support
How Tanya’s approaches work online
Existential Therapy helps people face big life questions and issues of meaning. Online sessions using this approach encourage honest discussion about values, purpose and the feelings that follow loss or change. This can be useful for grief, emptiness and life transitions.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The counsellor reflects back what a person says and helps them find their own answers. This style supports people struggling with self-esteem, relationship difficulties and emotional overwhelm.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. In an online setting CBT can include activities to practise between sessions, such as behavioural experiments or thought records, which help with anxiety, sleep problems and anger management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, combining listening, reflection and practical exercises.
Online therapy provides flexibility and accessibility for people with busy lives or mobility limits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat can work for short check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments.
