About Tanya

Tanya Mitchell works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression using an integrative counselling style. She is a BACP member and has six years of experience working with people in community and justice settings.

Tanya uses a blend of therapeutic methods chosen to fit each person's situation. Sessions focus on talking through current problems, identifying patterns that keep difficulties going, and trying practical strategies to manage emotions and behaviour. Worksheets and short tasks are sometimes used between meetings to help keep progress moving.

Her experience includes supporting people affected by alcohol and substance use alongside wider emotional wellbeing work. Much of this practice has been within community and justice settings, which influences a practical, outcomes-focused approach in sessions.

Tanya follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework in her work. That means she works to clear professional standards and ongoing professional development.

People can expect a direct, conversational style that aims to increase resilience and practical coping. The first sessions usually establish immediate concerns, set goals, and agree on the kinds of strategies and resources that might be helpful going forward.

How Tanya uses evidence-based methods in online sessions

Integrative counselling brings together different evidence-based techniques so the focus can change as needs change. One common approach uses cognitive and behavioural methods to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach draws on relapse prevention and motivational techniques for people working with alcohol or substance use, helping to spot triggers and plan concrete strategies for managing urges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tanya will discuss options with each person and decide together what methods match their goals, preferences and daily commitments. That collaborative decision helps keep sessions focused and relevant to what the person wants to achieve.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day at work. They can also allow resources such as worksheets to be shared and reviewed between meetings, which supports steady progress.
