Therapeutic approaches and online support with Tanya Ellis

Tanya uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathic space where the client’s own goals and pace guide the work. This approach emphasizes listening and collaboration and is often helpful for people seeking to clarify values, build self-worth, or navigate life transitions.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that contribute to difficulties like anxiety, low mood, and panic, then introduces practical strategies to reduce distress and build new skills. Attachment-based therapy features in her work when relationship patterns, caregiver issues, or attachment concerns are central to the presenting problems, helping clients explore relational histories and develop healthier connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Tanya works together with each client to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access support from different locations. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow for continuity across life changes, and enable clients to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable to them.
