Tanya Ellis, BACP, NCPS

Tanya Ellis is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains and grief. She also helps those coping with life changes, addiction concerns, self‑esteem struggles and feelings of jealousy. Tanya brings seven years of experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She keeps sessions warm, open and straightforward. Tanya uses client-centred listening to understand what matters most to each person. She mixes practical skills from cognitive behavioural approaches with emotionally focused work to address patterns in relationships and mood. Tanya pays attention to attachment and the ways past losses or betrayals influence current trust and worry. She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, practice different responses, and try small experiments between sessions. Work may include building coping plans for panic or obsessive thinking, or steps to repair communication after infidelity or conflict. Her background includes work in a local agency, a hospice and independent practice. That range has informed her approach to grief, hospice and end‑of‑life concerns as well as practical everyday stresses. People who come to Tanya can expect a collaborative process. Treatment is shaped around each person’s situation, values and goals. She aims to help people find clearer direction and greater emotional balance over time.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice hard thoughts and feelings without fighting them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, value‑based steps, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions.

Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current patterns of closeness and trust. This approach is useful for addressing jealousy, communication problems and difficulties forming stable connections.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviours. It is often used for panic, obsessive thinking, mood problems and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tanya will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. The process is collaborative and can be adjusted as needs change.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats were not specified in the original biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy routines, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check‑ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use a range of methods online, and Tanya aims to adapt her approach so it works well within a client’s everyday life.
