About Tanya
Tanya Perrin offers a compassionate, person-centred approach to therapy. She works to create a space where people can talk about anxiety, stress, grief and anger in straightforward ways. Tanya presents herself as respectful and sensitive, and she draws on her ten years of experience to support change.
She combines client-centred ways of working with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy. Tanya also uses mindfulness and existential ideas when these suit a person's situation.
Background and approach
Her background includes counselling for people affected by cancer, and she holds Macmillan Cancer Support-related certificates in palliative care, loss and bereavement. Tanya has worked in different settings, including clinical services and schools. That experience includes working with people who have complex mental health needs.
She describes tailoring conversations and plans to each person's needs rather than using a single method for everyone. In sessions she focuses on clear, usable tools for everyday life alongside space to talk about difficult feelings. Practical skills might include grounding and mindfulness exercises, and ways to manage upsetting thoughts and strong emotions.
Tanya aims to help people build coping strategies they can use between sessions. She accepts people from the United Kingdom and international clients and works in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist's schedule.
Tanya emphasises support and empowerment as the goals of her work.

How Tanya works online
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their concerns, goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. That means the plan can change as progress is made or new issues come up.
The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or busy days because it reduces travel time and can allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue work with a therapist while living in a different country. Registered or accredited professionals aim to use techniques that suit remote settings, such as guided mindfulness exercises, grounding practices and CBT worksheets that can be used between sessions.
