Tanya McCann, BACP

Tanya McCann is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, low self esteem, depression, grief and motivation problems. Tanya aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through worries.

She describes her practice as integrative, which means she draws on more than one approach to match each person's needs. That flexibility helps when problems are complex or when a single method does not fit. Tanya commonly uses client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, and psychodynamic thinking depending on what fits a person best.

In sessions she focuses on listening, understanding personal history, and helping people try new ways of coping. Practical strategies are offered alongside opportunities to reflect on long-standing patterns. The aim is to build clearer thinking and small changes that add up over time.

Tanya has experience supporting people with relationship concerns, family-related stress, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, addictions, eating concerns, parenting strain, career pressure, anger, bipolar challenges, compassion fatigue and ADHD. She also lists LGBT-related issues among her focus areas.

She asks people to take things at their own pace and says therapy is a collaborative effort. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to connect you with her and arrange sessions.

How Tanya's approaches translate to online therapy

Tanya uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy alongside psychodynamic ideas. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and accepted; it helps with emotional openness and confidence. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and motivation. Psychodynamic therapy considers how past experiences shape current patterns and can help with recurring relationship or intimacy issues.

Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Tanya aims to learn about a person's goals and preferences and then suggests which methods to try. She treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts the plan as people notice what helps them most.

The practitioner's biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make it simpler to keep appointments around work or family routines. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find ways to adapt exercises and techniques so progress continues even when meeting remotely.
