Tanya Mitchell , BACP

Tanya Mitchell is an integrative counsellor with six years of experience supporting people through challenges related to alcohol and substance use and broader emotional wellbeing, particularly within community and justice settings. She combines a range of therapeutic methods and adapts them to each person’s situation, with a focus on building resilience and encouraging personal growth. Continuous professional development informs her practice so that the care she provides remains effective and compassionate.

Tanya creates a non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their experiences openly. Sessions are tailored to address a variety of concerns and frequently include practical resources, such as worksheets, to support reflection and ongoing progress between meetings. Her work aims to help people develop coping strategies and greater insight into their circumstances, supporting longer term wellbeing and emotional stability.

She is a registered member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is the professional body that supports counsellors and psychotherapy practitioners and sets ethical standards for practice. Tanya is committed to offering a warm, empathetic environment where people can feel heard, understood, and supported. She welcomes contact from those who are facing difficulties or feeling stuck and is prepared to explore practical, meaningful strategies that fit each person’s goals and circumstances.

Integrative approaches and flexible online care

As an integrative counsellor, Tanya draws on a blend of evidence-based techniques to meet each person’s unique needs. Integrative counselling combines elements from different therapeutic models so that sessions can be adapted to address issues like addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties - the aim is to use approaches that best fit the individual rather than relying on a single method.

Alongside this, Tanya frequently uses practical skills-based work and reflective exercises supported by worksheets. These hands-on tools help clients practise coping strategies between sessions, consolidate insight, and build resilience over time.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Tanya works collaboratively with clients to identify what feels most helpful. Together they review goals, preferences, and progress and adjust the methods used to ensure the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Tanya is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit appointments around daily life. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
