Tanya Chapman, BACP

Many of Tanya's sessions draw on well established, evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thought patterns and building coping skills. One common approach helps people identify and challenge negative thoughts, replacing them with more balanced ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach centres on practical coping strategies such as grounding, sleep routines and behavioural experiments to tackle problems like panic, insomnia or compulsive behaviours.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tanya works with each person to understand their goals, preferences and the problems they want to resolve, and she adjusts methods as therapy progresses to find what helps best.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives or limited mobility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when needed, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments while still getting consistent support from a registered professional.
