About Elroy

Elroy Tan works on stress, anxiety, depression and LGBT-related concerns using evidence-based therapeutic techniques. He offers focused support for self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions and relationship and intimacy-related issues. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience.

Elroy works from the belief that people know the story of their life best and bring strengths into the room. He listens to what matters to each person and helps identify practical steps to manage symptoms and day-to-day difficulties. Sessions are direct and conversational, aimed at clear goals rather than long, abstract explanations.

He has supported people facing grief, trauma and abuse, as well as struggles with eating, sleeping and parenting pressures. Work can include building coping strategies, improving communication around relationships, and addressing career-related stress and compassion fatigue. The focus is on small, actionable changes that can reduce distress and improve functioning.

Elroy offers attention during standard business hours, Monday to Friday, and responds to messages received outside those hours on the next weekday. He uses evidence-based methods to guide sessions while adapting pace and focus to what each person needs.

Clients can expect practical discussion, goal setting and review. The emphasis is on collaboration and on finding approaches that fit everyday life, with straightforward steps to try between sessions.

How his approaches are used in online sessions

Elroy works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear tasks and measurable steps. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real-life evidence to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach concentrates on building practical coping skills and routines to improve sleep, managing cravings, and reducing stress in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and Elroy treats it as a collaborative process. He will discuss different techniques with the client, review what helps, and adapt the plan over time to match the person's goals and preferences.

Please confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to connect from different locations, which can be helpful for international clients and those juggling work and family commitments.
