Tanya Mitchell, BACP

Tanya Mitchell is an integrative counsellor with six years of experience supporting people with alcohol and substance use and wider emotional wellbeing needs, particularly in community and justice settings. She blends a range of therapeutic methods and tailors them to each person, with the aim of strengthening resilience and promoting sustainable personal growth. Her practice emphasises practical, compassionate support and keeps evolving through ongoing professional development to remain effective and responsive.

Tanya provides a calm, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their challenges and work toward clearer understanding and change. Sessions are often supported with worksheets and other resources to encourage reflection and learning between meetings, helping clients to build skills and apply insights in everyday life.

Her approach is flexible and personalised, designed to help people find greater emotional safety, improved wellbeing and long-term strategies for coping and recovery. Tanya is a registered member of BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and works within the BACP Ethical Framework, the professional code of practice that guides her clinical work. She aims to offer a warm, compassionate environment where people feel heard and supported as they take steps forward.

Integrative approaches and online support for emotional recovery

Tanya works from an integrative counselling perspective, which means she combines techniques from different evidence-based therapeutic approaches to suit each person's needs. This flexible model supports people facing substance use, anxiety, depression and relationship or trauma-related issues by adapting methods to focus on practical coping skills, emotional understanding and behavioural change.

She also uses structured, skills-focused work supported by worksheets and guided exercises to help clients practise strategies between sessions. These tools are aimed at building resilience, reducing unhelpful patterns and encouraging steady progress toward personal goals.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Tanya will work with each person to identify what feels most helpful, taking into account individual needs, goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan over time to ensure the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Tanya is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and allow people to access support from home or other convenient locations, while still working with a registered professional.
