Dr Tania Muthen is a Chartered Consultant Psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). She brings 16 years of clinical experience and offers practical, straightforward support for people facing mood and stress-related difficulties. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth.

She works with individuals to understand what feels unmanageable and then builds a clear plan together. Sessions focus on small, achievable steps so change feels possible even when things seem overwhelming.

Background and approach

Dr Muthen blends a range of well-established therapeutic approaches to match a person’s needs. This means she can shift strategies if something is not working and keep the work focused on real-life problems. She helps people tackle anxiety, panic, depression and bipolar mood challenges, alongside issues with anger and relationship strain.

She also addresses feelings of guilt, shame and isolation, and supports people through loss, life transitions and recovery after trauma. Practical skills for coping and self-compassion are part of the work, along with reflecting on repeated patterns that cause distress.

Alongside independent practice, Dr Muthen has worked in hospital settings including mental health rehabilitation and adult oncology, and she has held senior clinical roles. That background supports a calm, experienced approach to assessment and treatment. If someone is ready to take a first step, she encourages a simple, paced approach to starting therapy that meets the person where they are.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Dr Muthen commonly draws on cognitive-behavioural methods which focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of responding to reduce anxiety and low mood. These techniques are practical and aim to create small, measurable changes in day-to-day life.

She also uses person-centred ideas that prioritise understanding a person’s experience and building self-compassion, and she draws on elements of dialectical behaviour approaches that teach emotional regulation and skills for managing strong feelings. These approaches suit issues like mood instability, panic and difficulties with anger.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to agree goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences, adjusting the plan if something does not help.

Online therapy with Dr Muthen can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel and using shared worksheets, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging or live chat work well for brief touchpoints and ongoing support between sessions. These formats offer flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life and make it easier to keep continuity of care.
