About Tanya
Tanya McCann is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress and life changes. She describes a calm, non-judgemental approach and aims to make the first step easier for anyone worried about starting therapy.
She has four years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and is registered with the BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Tanya uses a blend of approaches so sessions are shaped around each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
Background and approach
In practice she combines client-centred listening with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and psychodynamic ideas. That mix means she will listen closely, help spot unhelpful thinking patterns and look at how past experiences influence current feelings. Sessions are conversational and practical, not full of jargon.
People come to her about a wide range of concerns including grief, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life transitions, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and parenting worries, ADHD, bipolar and compassion fatigue. Tanya helps clients talk through these issues and develop steps they can try between sessions.
Her work is collaborative: she and the client set goals together and review progress over time. She emphasises a safe space to share hard feelings and supports people as they try new ways of coping and building confidence.
How Tanya's approaches work online
Tanya commonly draws on client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and psychodynamic ideas when working online. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people feel heard so they can make their own choices about change. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. Psychodynamic ideas help people notice how past experiences shape present reactions and relationships.Finding the right mix is part of the work. Tanya will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will choose which methods to try. That collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made or new issues arise.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let people read facial expressions and use visual resources, phone sessions can fit a shorter check-in or work better with limited bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit those who prefer writing or need support between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life while still getting regular contact with a registered professional.
