About Tanya
Tanya McCann is a counsellor who offers an integrative way of working. She draws on different therapy styles to match each person's needs and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable. She has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration.
Tanya helps people dealing with stress and anxiety, low mood, grief and loss, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction-related problems, parenting stresses, and work-related strain.
Background and approach
In sessions she focuses on listening first. Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings are spoken about plainly. Tanya uses techniques from client-centred work, cognitive behavioural methods and psychodynamic ideas depending on what each person needs.
Practical skills are mixed with time to understand deeper patterns. That might mean trying out small behaviour changes, reflecting on past experiences, or practising new ways of responding to difficult feelings. The approach is kept flexible and tailored to personal circumstances.
Tanya aims to help people build tools for everyday life while exploring the issues that matter to them. She supports parents who want clearer coping strategies and better day-to-day functioning. Taking a first step can feel hard, and Tanya offers steady, straightforward support through that process.

How Tanya's approaches work online
Client-centred work puts the person at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens, reflects and follows the client’s priorities to build understanding and emotional coping. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to talk through current difficulties.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical steps that change unhelpful thoughts and actions. It often includes simple exercises and small behavioural experiments that can reduce anxiety, improve mood and help manage stress in daily life.
Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns that run beneath current problems, including past experiences that shape reactions today. This can help people recognise repeated themes and make different choices going forward.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and together with the client choose methods that feel most useful. That collaborative process helps make sessions feel relevant and manageable.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit brief check-ins, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit into a lunch break or be used between sessions for short updates. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside work, childcare and other commitments.
