Tanya Perrin, BACP

Tanya Perrin practises an integrative approach that puts the person at the centre of therapy. She combines person-centred listening with techniques from cognitive behavioural and mindfulness work to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief and anger. Tanya holds BACP registration and has ten years of experience in the UK. Her sessions tend to be practical and grounded. She supports people dealing with relationship difficulties and intimacy-related issues, and helps those struggling with low self-esteem or sleeping problems. She has worked with people affected by trauma, abuse and dissociation, and with those who have ADHD and related challenges. Tanya has specific experience supporting people affected by serious illness. Her background includes counselling for people with cancer and palliative care concerns, and work with bereavement and loss. She also has experience in school settings with children and young adults, and with people who have complex mental health needs. In conversations she focuses on respect, sensitivity and clear goals. She adapts tools from CBT and DBT when they suit a person, and uses mindfulness and grounding exercises to reduce intense emotion. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs rather than a single method. To begin, clients use the platform’s Start Therapy process to complete a short questionnaire and match with Tanya. The therapist will then schedule sessions in line with her availability and the subscription terms. Fees vary by location and the subscription can be cancelled at any time.

How Tanya’s approaches translate to online therapy

Tanya blends person-centred listening with cognitive behavioural and mindfulness work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions, which can make conversations feel straightforward and accepting. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, stress and sleep difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and manage intense emotions, which can be practised between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit the person’s needs. This collaborative process helps adapt techniques so they work in regular life and on the schedule that suits each person.

The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when needed. It also lets people use written work, worksheets and mindfulness exercises between appointments to build skills gradually.
