Elroy Tan, BACP

Elroy Tan helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. He also supports those facing LGBT-related concerns, relationship strains, parenting challenges, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, sleep or eating difficulties, career stress and compassion fatigue. He acknowledges how daunting it can feel to start therapy and affirms the courage it takes to reach out.

Elroy works from the idea that clients know their own stories best. He focuses on identifying strengths people already have and on practical steps to manage problems day to day. Sessions aim to be straightforward and down to earth, avoiding jargon and keeping goals clear.

He has five years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which the text provides as his credential. Elroy offers his full attention during standard business hours, Monday to Friday, and responds to messages received outside those hours on the next weekday.

In sessions he helps clients break difficult issues into manageable parts. Conversations often cover coping strategies, small behaviour changes and ways to build confidence. He encourages steady progress and checks in on what is working between meetings.

People who choose to work with him can expect a respectful, practical approach that aims to fit therapy into daily life. He takes time to set clear goals and to review progress so work feels purposeful and relevant.

Evidence-based ways to work together online

Elroy describes using evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and build new habits. One commonly used approach focuses on practical coping strategies and behaviour change to reduce anxiety and improve mood; this involves small, achievable steps and tracking what helps. Another approach emphasises working with strengths and building self-esteem through skill practice and clearer goal setting, which can help with confidence, motivation and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is reviewed and priorities shift.

The biography does not list which online formats are offered, so check the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep continuity of care if they move or travel, while remaining focused on the same practical steps and goals they would use in face-to-face sessions.
