Background and approach

Tanya also draws on mindfulness and narrative ideas to help people notice patterns and make small changes. Her background includes supporting people after trauma and abuse, and addressing problems with anger, motivation and self-esteem. She also works with those facing grief, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, and major life changes.

In addition she has experience with mood matters such as depression and bipolar, and with neurodiversity related issues like autism and ADHD. Tanya adapts practical tools to each person's situation. That might mean short, solution-focused steps, guided mindfulness exercises, or using body-based techniques from somatic practice.

The aim is to build clearer coping strategies and reduce daily overwhelm. She guides clients through a straightforward process for starting therapy. Sessions can be done through video, phone, chat or messaging so people can choose what fits their life.

Tanya presents herself as a steady, approachable professional who helps people take small steps toward better day-to-day functioning.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online

Client-centred work focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps when anxiety or stress feel overwhelming because sessions are shaped around the client’s priorities and pace.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep. It can be helpful for ongoing worry, insomnia and managing strong emotions.

Narrative therapy looks at the stories someone tells about themselves and their life. Reframing those stories can open up new choices and reduce feelings of being stuck after trauma or loss.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and try different techniques based on the client’s goals, needs and preferences. Sessions often mix styles so the plan can change as progress is made.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use body language and eye contact, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can support brief check-ins, and text messaging suits ongoing journalling or quick reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, care responsibilities and daily life while keeping the focus on real, usable change.
