About Tanya
Counsellor and BACP member Tanya Mitchell has six years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, trauma and abuse, and depression. Tanya practises in the United Kingdom and offers one-to-one counselling focused on emotional wellbeing and substance use concerns.
Tanya works in community and justice settings and brings that experience into sessions. She uses an integrative approach, drawing on different evidence-based techniques to match the needs of each person. Sessions often include practical tools such as worksheets to help with reflection between meetings.
In the room she aims to be non-judgemental and straightforward. Conversations focus on what is happening now, how it affects daily life, and what small changes might help. She encourages building resilience and clearer coping strategies rather than quick fixes.
Tanya is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the BACP, and works according to its Ethical Framework. That guides how she manages boundaries, record keeping and professional conduct.
Practical matters are discussed at first contact. She will explain her working methods, any resources she uses, and how sessions are arranged. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and remote counselling
She describes her work as integrative, which means combining different evidence-based techniques to suit the person. That might include approaches focused on building coping skills for anxiety and depression, and methods aimed at reducing substance use by looking at triggers and planning practical steps.Another practical element she mentions is the use of worksheets and exercises. These are used between sessions to reinforce what was discussed and to help people practise new ways of managing stress or cravings.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the early work. Tanya will discuss options with each person and agree a way of working that reflects their situation, goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions focus more on emotional processing, skills-building, or practical problem solving.
The biography does not list specific remote session formats. Please confirm the current session formats before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, avoid travel, or have shorter check-ins when that suits a day at work. Telephone sessions use less data and can be simpler for quick check-ins, while video calls allow for face-to-face interaction without the journey.
