Tanya Joseph
Calm, practical counselling for everyday struggles
About Tanya
Tanya Joseph works from a person-centred style that puts the client's experience at the centre of the work. She uses gentle, structured ways of talking and practical tools to help people manage anxiety, stress and the effects of trauma. Her approach aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful from the first meeting.
Tanya has nine years of experience as a counsellor and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
She combines client-centred listening with mindfulness and narrative techniques to help people untangle difficult feelings. These methods are used alongside solution-focused ideas so people can try small changes between sessions. People come to Tanya for a wide range of concerns, including depression, bipolar mood issues, addiction, sleep problems and anger.
She also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy issues, compassion fatigue, ADHD and the strain of parenting. Tanya can work with complex histories such as trauma, abandonment and attachment difficulties. In sessions she pays close attention to how the body holds stress, using somatic-informed approaches when that is helpful.
This can mean simple breathing exercises, grounding practices or noticing physical sensations alongside thoughts and feelings. The aim is to help people feel more steady in day-to-day life. Tanya prefers to tailor the plan to each person's needs and pace.
Conversations are practical and focused on what the client wants to change. The emphasis is on small, achievable steps toward better coping and clearer thinking. She offers sessions in English and works with people located in the United Kingdom.
Therapy is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, using a cancellable subscription model.

Sessions & fees
How Tanya's approaches work over online sessions
Tanya draws on client-centred work to keep sessions focused on what matters to the person. This means the counsellor listens closely and follows the client's pace, helping clarify goals and priorities. Mindfulness therapy is used to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce immediate stress and improve sleep. Narrative therapy helps people spot recurring stories about themselves and try different ways of understanding life events.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Tanya will discuss options and choose methods together with the client based on needs, goals and what feels most useful. That collaborative process makes it easier to try techniques and adjust them over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which offer practical flexibility. Video works well for full sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone calls can be quicker for check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, mood check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
