Tanya Ellis, BACP, NCPS

Tanya Ellis is a licensed professional therapist based in Buckinghamshire in the United Kingdom, with seven years of clinical experience across a local agency, hospice settings, and private practice. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials - BACP indicates membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and NCPS reflects additional professional certification - and brings a warm, open, and genuine presence to her work.

Tanya works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, and life transitions. She also supports clients with issues related to self-esteem, eating concerns, LGBT matters, caregiver stress, attachment difficulties, and obsessive or panic-related symptoms. Her practice has helped individuals coping with the loss of relationships, jobs, or loved ones as they navigate change and uncertainty.

Her therapeutic style combines client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral techniques within a pluralistic framework, selecting tools and strategies to suit each person’s needs. Tanya emphasizes respect, compassion, and sensitivity, and she tailors treatment plans collaboratively so clients feel empowered to work toward clearer goals. She accepts international clients and offers flexible session formats to accommodate different circumstances.

Making a first step toward change often takes courage, and Tanya aims to create a supportive professional relationship that helps clients explore their whole selves, build coping skills, and move toward a more satisfying and balanced life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-centered therapy focuses on the therapeutic relationship and a non-judgmental, empathetic approach that helps people explore their feelings and values at their own pace. It is useful for building self-awareness, improving self-esteem, and working through life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers practical techniques to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replace them with more adaptive responses. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with difficult emotions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating formed in early life and how those patterns affect current relationships. It can help clients address trust, intimacy, and caregiving concerns by developing more secure ways of connecting.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Tanya collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts interventions as trust and understanding grow between therapist and client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit support into busy schedules, manage mobility or distance challenges, and maintain continuity when life is unpredictable. Registered professionals can deliver the same core approaches effectively through these formats, helping clients access consistent care from wherever they are.
