About Elroy
Counsellor and member of BACP with five years' experience, Elroy Tan helps people in the United Kingdom with stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, self esteem, depression and motivation. He also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, sleeping and eating difficulties, addictions, anger, career worries and compassion fatigue.
Elroy works in a conversational, straightforward way. He treats sessions as a place to talk through what is worrying you and to identify small, practical steps you can try between meetings. He emphasises the client as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on rather than focusing only on problems.
Sessions happen during his standard business hours, Monday to Friday. Messages sent at weekends or outside those hours will be answered on the next weekday. That timing is part of how he manages appointments and follow-ups.
Elroy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with common difficulties such as persistent worry, low mood and relationship strain. He works with clear aims and checks progress with clients as therapy continues. He also pays attention to how daily routines like sleep and work affect mood and coping.
He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, the site asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Online counselling approaches and practicalities
Elroy describes his work as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with worry, low mood and relationship strain. One common approach focuses on changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. It helps people notice thoughts that keep them stuck and try small experiments to test different ways of coping.Another approach looks at routines and daily habits that affect mood, such as sleep, eating and activity levels. This is practical work aimed at steadying day-to-day life and improving energy and concentration.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work with you to decide what fits your needs, goals and preferences, and will review progress as you go. That choice is collaborative and can change during therapy if required.
The practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and saving travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or phone contact when they have limited bandwidth or a brief break at work. The exact session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to arrange regular appointments around other commitments.
