Tanya Joseph , BACP

Tanya Joseph is a counsellor who uses a person-focused style to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She works with clients on sleep problems, anger, addictions and relationship or intimacy concerns. Tanya also supports people navigating grief, career change, parenting strain and the emotional demands of long-term conditions. Tanya has nine years of practice in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She adapts conversations and care to each person's needs, so sessions are shaped around what matters to the client. That might mean setting small goals, looking at patterns in everyday life, or slowing down to notice bodily reactions. Her approach combines client-centred listening with practical techniques. Mindfulness is used to build steady attention and reduce overwhelm. Narrative work helps people separate themselves from difficult stories and find different ways of making sense of events. Tanya is comfortable with a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, bipolar and depression, compassion fatigue and issues linked to attachment or abandonment. She also has experience supporting people living with chronic pain, disability, or the stress of caregiving. People who choose her can expect calm, respectful conversations and plans that suit their pace. She encourages small, realistic steps and checks in on what is and isnt working. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist's schedule.

How Tanya blends talking therapy with online options

Tanya draws on client-centred work, mindfulness and narrative therapy to support people online. Client-centred therapy focuses on warm, non-judgemental listening and helps clients find their own solutions; it suits many issues from low self-esteem to relationship worries. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to ease anxiety and improve sleep. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps them see different ways to understand their experiences, which can be useful for trauma, grief and identity concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tanya will listen to your needs, discuss the options and agree what to try first. She checks progress together and adapts methods if something is not helping, so goals and techniques evolve with the client's preferences.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is helpful when non-verbal cues matter, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit shorter check-ins. Chat or messaging can be useful for flexible, between-session contact or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or mobility limits and let people choose what feels most manageable.
