Tanya McCann is a counsellor who works in the United Kingdom. She uses an integrative approach that blends techniques to match each person’s needs. Tanya aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and supportive.

Tanya has four years of professional experience and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression and motivation difficulties.

Background and approach

She also addresses issues such as addictions, eating concerns, intimacy-related problems, and the emotional effects of trauma and abuse. In practice Tanya adapts methods from different approaches rather than relying on a single model. That means sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her.

Conversations are intended to be straightforward and practical, not full of jargon. She works with concerns around relationships, parenting pressures, career setbacks, anger and compassion fatigue, and can support people exploring LGBT issues or living with bipolar or ADHD. Tanya aims to understand each person’s whole situation before suggesting ways forward.

Tanya aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about honestly. She encourages small, realistic steps and helps people try out different ways of coping. The emphasis is on finding approaches that suit the individual and their life circumstances.

How Tanya’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions and focuses on empathetic listening and reflecting back what matters most. This approach helps with emotional difficulties such as grief, low self-esteem and feeling overwhelmed.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try out practical strategies to change behaviour and mood. It is often useful for anxiety, depression and managing stress.

Finding the right style is part of the work together. Tanya will discuss goals, preferences and how each approach might help, and then adapt techniques as needed. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits the person’s life and priorities.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be chosen when less bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support people who prefer writing or want brief, frequent contact between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily routines while using approaches that are familiar from face-to-face practice.
