Tanya Perrin, BACP

Tanya Perrin is a counsellor with ten years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief and anger. She works in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Tanya aims to make talking about difficult things feel straightforward and manageable.

She uses an integrative way of working, drawing on approaches such as cognitive behavioural elements, mindfulness and existential ideas. Sessions focus on what a person is finding hard now and practical steps they can try between meetings. Tanya also brings experience of supporting people affected by cancer, and those facing palliative care, loss and bereavement.

Her background includes counselling in schools and work alongside psychiatric services with people who have complex needs. That variety means she is used to adapting the conversation to each person’s situation and pace. Tanya says she treats everyone with respect and sensitivity while tailoring plans to individual needs.

People can expect an emphasis on building understanding of patterns, learning grounding and coping strategies, and exploring values that matter. She can help with relationship difficulties, intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems and issues connected to attention and concentration. The work aims to support small, steady changes rather than quick fixes.

Tanya asks people to be clear about their goals and to take an active role in sessions. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and aims to empower people as they work through challenging life events and painful memories.

How Tanya’s approaches work in online therapy

Tanya commonly draws on client-centred work that focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. This approach means the conversation is guided by what matters most to the client and aims to make sessions feel collaborative and respectful.

She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help identify unhelpful thinking and try practical experiments. CBT-style tools can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems because they break issues down into small, actionable steps. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are used to teach grounding, emotional regulation and distress-tolerance techniques that help when feelings feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tanya discusses goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and adjusts methods over time. She aims to work together to choose tools that fit the client’s situation and rhythm of life.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week, reducing travel time and allowing more frequent short check-ins when helpful.
