About Elroy
Elroy Tan helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious or low. He supports people facing relationship strain, struggles with self-esteem, LGBT-related concerns, addiction, grief and trauma. He also works with those coping with career pressure, parenting worries, sleep or eating difficulties and compassion fatigue.
Elroy has five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. Elroy asks curious questions and listens closely to each person's story. He treats the person sitting across from him as the expert in their life.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings, and on building small changes that make day-to-day life easier. He aims to make the first contact straightforward. Signing up starts with a short matching form and then scheduling a time that suits you.
Elroy is usually available during standard business hours, Monday to Friday, and replies on weekdays to messages sent outside those times. In sessions he works at a steady pace and matches the approach to what feels most useful. The work might include looking at routines, learning new ways to manage strong emotions, or talking through relationship patterns.
He emphasises strengths and realistic goals rather than jargon. People meet him in English. He accepts clients based in the United Kingdom and international clients.
Fees vary depending on location and the subscription plan used, which can be cancelled at any time. If you choose to start, you complete the Start Therapy button, a brief questionnaire, and then book an appointment.

How Elroy works online
Another helpful method is behavioural activation, which encourages gradual changes to routine and activity to lift mood and increase motivation. It suits people who are feeling stuck or low and want clear, simple tasks to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, preferences and what has or hasn't worked before. Together you will choose or adapt methods so they fit your life and what you want to achieve.
If you prefer online sessions, please confirm the exact formats available before booking, as the biography did not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel to appointments. Many people find it helps them practise new skills in the places they live and work.
