Tanya Chapman, BACP

Tanya Chapman helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loss or low mood. She works with those dealing with trauma, relationship strain, addictions, and challenges like sleeping and eating problems. Tanya welcomes people who identify as LGBT and those managing ADHD, bipolar or issues with self-esteem. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has three years of professional experience.

Tanya aims to make sessions straightforward and calm. She encourages honest conversation and listens without judging. Her style is practical and supportive, focusing on what people want to change in their day-to-day lives. She explains things plainly and helps clients break problems into manageable steps.

In sessions she pays attention to past events that still affect daily life, and to current habits that get in the way of wellbeing. Tanya can help people process grief and abuse, work through compulsive or hoarding behaviours, and manage symptoms linked to autism spectrum conditions. She also supports people dealing with self-harm thoughts and sexual assault recovery.

Her work includes helping with relationship and family concerns from an individual perspective, and with young adult issues as people move into new life stages. She also offers support for paranoia, personality-related difficulties and long-standing obsessions or compulsions.

Tanya asks clients what outcomes matter to them and adapts each plan around those goals. She encourages small practical steps alongside talking therapy. This approach helps people notice steady progress and build routines that fit everyday life.

How therapy approaches fit with online working

Tanya uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach involves talking through past events and current triggers to reduce their hold on daily life, which can help with trauma, anxiety and mood problems. Another approach looks at habits and routines, helping people build small changes that improve sleep, eating and day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist and client will discuss needs, goals and preferences and then try approaches that suit the person. This collaborative process makes it easier to adjust methods as progress is seen or priorities shift.

If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to attend sessions from a location with quieter surroundings or when being on camera feels difficult. Registered or accredited professionals will work with each person to find an approach and rhythm that fit their life and goals.
