About Tanya
Tanya Perrin is a counsellor who works from an integrative, client-centred perspective. She holds BACP registration and brings ten years of clinical experience. Tanya focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties and challenges linked to trauma and grief.
She adapts the conversation to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions often combine practical skills with reflective work to strengthen coping and day-to-day routines. That can include mindfulness practices, grounding exercises and cognitive strategies to ease unhelpful thoughts.
Tanya has worked with people affected by cancer and with carers, and has experience in palliative care and bereavement support through Macmillan-related training. She has also provided counselling in school settings and supported people with complex mental health needs.
Her approach is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable for the client. Tanya aims to make small, practical changes that add up over time. She emphasises respect, sensitivity and compassion as the foundation of therapy.
Sessions are tailored to the person’s goals, whether that is improving sleep and rest, reducing anxiety or finding ways to cope after loss. Tanya encourages people to take the first step and offers steady support through each stage of change.
How Tanya's approaches translate to online support
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions and focuses on listening and understanding. It helps people feel heard and find their own solutions to problems like sleeplessness or anxiety.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to recognise and change unhelpful thinking and routines. It can be useful for managing worry, sleep patterns and the behaviours that keep problems going.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers skills for regulating intense emotions and improving day-to-day coping. Elements such as distress tolerance and grounding are helpful when strong feelings disrupt rest and routine.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, what has helped before and what feels acceptable in a session. Together they will try strategies and adjust the plan as needed to find the best fit.
If you prefer online support, please confirm the specific session formats before booking because the biography does not list formats. Many people find remote work helps fit therapy around work, caregiving and other routines. Online sessions can make it easier to keep short check-ins, reduce travel, and practise techniques between meetings, all of which can help with improving sleep and daily rest.
