Tanya Mitchell uses an integrative counselling approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and the emotional effects of trauma. She works with clear goals and practical steps to build resilience and improve wellbeing. Tanya draws on six years of experience supporting people in community and justice settings.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her sessions are calm and straightforward. Tanya offers a non-judgemental space where people can talk about substance use, relationships and low mood.

Background and approach

She often uses worksheets and practical exercises to help clients reflect between meetings. The focus is on small, sustainable changes that fit into everyday life. Tanya adapts her style to each person.

That might mean a conversational session one week and a more structured plan the next. The aim is to build emotional safety and practical coping skills. She encourages people to notice progress and to try tools outside of sessions.

Her background includes work in community and justice settings, where she supported people with alcohol and substance use alongside other emotional concerns. That experience shapes a direct, pragmatic approach to difficulties. Tanya keeps developing her skills through ongoing professional learning.

People who choose Tanya can expect grounded support and clear next steps. Therapy focuses on understanding what’s happening now and finding ways to move forward. She works within the BACP Ethical Framework and seeks to offer compassionate, effective care.

How integrative counselling works online

Tanya often draws on integrative counselling methods that bring together practical strategies and reflective conversation. Integrative counselling combines ideas from different therapeutic approaches to suit each person; it helps people manage mood, anxiety and relationship concerns by using the tools that fit best for them.

She also uses practical exercises and worksheets during therapy to support change between sessions. These tools help people practise coping techniques, track triggers and notice small improvements over time. For those working with addiction or trauma-related issues, structured exercises can make progress feel more manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tanya will talk through options and agree on methods that match a person’s goals and preferences. The process is collaborative, with regular check-ins to adjust the approach as needed.

Online sessions offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and more in-depth dialogue, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or screen time is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
