Elroy Tan , BACP

Elroy Tan is a UK-licensed therapist with more than five years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, and a range of life challenges. He has worked with clients facing LGBT-related concerns, motivation and self-esteem struggles, and issues around confidence, drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a strengths-focused outlook. Elroy approaches each person as the expert of their own story and seeks to build on existing strengths to help clients move through what is holding them back.

He acknowledges that beginning therapy can take courage and recognizes the importance of that first step, offering a warm and respectful space for people to explore their concerns. Elroy commits his full attention to clients during standard business hours, Monday to Friday, and will follow up on messages received over weekends or after hours at the start of the next weekday. He holds the BACP credential - a membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and draws on practical, evidence-based methods to help clients work toward their goals.

Evidence-Based Methods and Online Support

Elroy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical strategies and measurable progress. These approaches aim to identify patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, or low mood and to develop skills that improve coping and daily functioning. He also works from a strengths-based, person-centered perspective that recognizes each individual as the expert in their own life - this helps clients build on existing resources and confidence when facing change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Elroy collaborates with clients to determine what fits best. He tailors sessions to each person's needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so therapy remains relevant and helpful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support without travel, allowing clients to engage in therapy in ways that suit their daily life while working with a licensed professional.
