Tanya Ellis, BACP, NCPS

Tanya Ellis helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with stress, addiction, self-esteem difficulties and cultural or identity concerns. Tanya works with a broad set of emotional challenges and practical life problems in a warm, down-to-earth way.

She keeps sessions simple and person-centred. Tanya uses a mix of client-centred conversation and structured techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. She aims to make therapy feel like a practical, steady place to work through what matters most.

Tanya brings seven years of experience across community settings, hospice work and independent practice in the United Kingdom. Her background includes work with people facing bereavement, job loss and relationship endings, and she draws on that experience when supporting people through loss and change.

Her style is friendly, open and genuine. Sessions focus on respect, sensitivity and understanding. Tanya and each client shape a plan together so therapy fits that person’s life and goals.

Tanya is registered with BACP and NCPS. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to link people with the right therapist and schedule sessions according to availability.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Tanya uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside client-centred work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and identify actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions and relies on empathic listening to help people find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tanya aims to collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She will discuss what feels helpful and adjust the plan as therapy progresses so it matches changing needs.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people use approaches like ACT and CBT through focused conversations, homework tasks and practical exercises adapted for remote sessions.
