Tanya Perrin, BACP

Tanya Perrin is a qualified integrative counsellor and therapist who is registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She practises in the United Kingdom and brings ten years of professional experience to her work, combining practical skills and a person-centred focus to support people through difficult life challenges.

She has worked with clients facing relationship difficulties, stress and anxiety, grief and loss, and anger management, and has experience supporting psychiatric patients with complex needs. Her practice also includes counselling for cancer patients and their families as well as providing support for children and young adults within a school setting in her local community.

Tanya approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she tailors conversation and treatment plans to meet each client’s particular needs. She emphasises empowerment and practical support, recognising that taking the first step toward change requires courage and commitment. Tanya aims to support and guide clients as they work toward greater wellbeing and more fulfilling lives.

Her specialised training includes Macmillan Cancer Support certificates, palliative care, and loss and bereavement. Within an integrative framework she draws on approaches such as work with depression and anxiety, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), employment-focused work, solution-focused therapy, trauma-informed care, support for sexual abuse and self-harm, grounding techniques, mindfulness, spirituality, and existential therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Sessions

Tanya Perrin integrates several established approaches to tailor work to each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours; it is commonly used for issues such as anxiety, low mood, and difficulties with sleep or stress by offering practical strategies and structured techniques. Mindfulness Therapy helps people develop present-moment awareness and calming practices that can reduce rumination and improve emotional regulation; it is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and coping with difficult emotions. Existential Therapy explores personal meaning, values, and life choices, supporting clients who are wrestling with questions about purpose, loss, or major life transitions.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the process. Tanya works collaboratively with clients to consider their goals, preferences, and experiences and then adapts methods so therapy fits the individual rather than expecting the individual to fit a single model. This collaborative stance helps shape a plan that feels practical and relevant.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility without sacrificing therapeutic depth. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be a convenient alternative, and live chat or text-based messaging provide routes for shorter or more frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access registered professionals from different locations, while maintaining a consistent and supportive therapeutic relationship.
