Tanya Mitchell, BACP

Tanya Mitchell offers an integrative counselling approach that blends practical techniques to meet each person’s needs. She draws on six years of experience to help people build resilience and work towards lasting change. Tanya is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and follows its Ethical Framework.

She specialises in supporting people experiencing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. Much of her work has been done within community and justice settings, so she is used to the realities people face in those environments. Tanya aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can speak openly.

Sessions are collaborative and tailored. Tanya uses a mix of therapeutic methods and practical resources such as worksheets to help clients reflect between meetings. The focus is on building coping skills, promoting emotional safety and encouraging personal growth.

She keeps her practice flexible so therapy can be adjusted as needs change. The emphasis is on concrete strategies as well as understanding patterns that maintain difficulties. Tanya describes her role as supporting people to find what works for them.

Tanya follows the BACP Ethical Framework in her practice and continues professional development to keep her approach up to date. If someone feels stuck or overwhelmed, she supports them in exploring options and developing practical steps to move forward.

How evidence-based methods can work online

Tanya describes her approach as integrative, which means she blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques to suit each person. Two common methods she uses are practical skills work and structured reflective exercises. Practical skills work teaches coping strategies for stress, anxiety and cravings, often using short tasks and worksheets to try between sessions. Structured reflective exercises help people notice patterns in relationships and thinking so they can make different choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tanya will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then try methods that match those needs. That means the plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge, with the client shaping each step.

For practical arrangements, please confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that helps someone focus. Many people find the mix of structured exercises and regular discussion transfers well to remote working, while still keeping therapy focused and goal oriented.
