About Tanya
Tanya Joseph offers a straightforward, person-focused way of working that centres on the stories people tell about their lives. She uses Narrative approaches alongside client-centred and mindfulness techniques to help people make sense of distressing events and shift the patterns that keep them stuck.
Tanya is based in the United Kingdom and brings nine years of experience to her practice as a BACP counsellor. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, bipolar mood concerns and the aftermath of trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
Practical issues such as sleep problems, anger, addictions, relationship difficulties and career stress are also within her scope. Tanya pays attention to day-to-day effects so conversations stay relevant to real life. Tanya aims to listen without judgement and to adapt sessions to each person’s needs.
She leans on client-centred work to make the conversation feel collaborative and on mindfulness to help manage overwhelming feelings in the moment. Narrative methods are used to separate problems from the person and to open up new possibilities for change. Sessions can focus on short-term solutions or take a deeper look at recurring patterns, depending on what someone wants.
She also draws on somatic ideas when physical reactions to stress are part of the problem. The therapist explains approaches plainly and works at a pace the client finds comfortable. Tanya describes the first steps as courageous and practical.
She helps people set goals, try small changes between sessions, and review what’s working. Her style is respectful, gentle and oriented towards real-life improvements.

Narrative and practical approaches for online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and meeting you where you are. The counsellor reflects what you say and helps you make choices without pressure, which can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, motivation and coping with life changes.Narrative Therapy helps people separate problems from their identity by looking at the stories they tell about themselves. This approach is often helpful for trauma, grief, relationship difficulties and patterns that feel stuck because it opens up alternative ways of understanding events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tanya will discuss different methods with each person and decide together what fits their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions toward short-term goals or deeper change depending on what the client wants.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different circumstances. Video calls let you use face-to-face conversation when helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief reflections or people who find typing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and to choose the format that works best for each session.
