Dr. Tania Muthen, HCPC

Dr. Tania Muthen is a Chartered consultant psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). She has 16 years of clinical experience providing therapeutic and assessment services in a range of healthcare settings. Her background includes senior roles in hospital services and independent practice.

She draws on a mix of evidence-based approaches to build a plan with each person. In sessions she focuses on practical strategies for mood, anxiety and stress, and on exploring how patterns of thought and behaviour affect daily life. Conversations are kept straightforward and goal-focused.

Her work covers depression, bipolar disorder, panic and other anxiety presentations, and problems linked to stress and anger. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, loneliness, loss and adjustment after separation or medical diagnosis. Many clients come to her to understand repeating patterns and to find new ways of coping.

Alongside independent practice she works as a consultant psychologist at a independent hospital, providing in-patient mental health rehabilitation. Previously she led a department in a government hospital in South Africa for 13 years and has experience in adult oncology and medical practice settings.

When someone is feeling overwhelmed, she helps them reflect on their relationships with themselves and others. Therapy is presented as a collaborative process with clear steps and practical tools. Clients who want to start are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Dr Muthen commonly uses Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy in her work, a method that helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is practical and problem-focused, with techniques you can use between sessions.

She also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy elements, which teach skills for managing strong emotions, improving tolerance of distress and reducing impulsive reactions. These skills aim to help with anger, mood swings and panic symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and she will work with each person to choose techniques that suit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between appointments. It also lets people use specific skills in their everyday environment and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult to arrange.
