About Elroy
Elroy Tan is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and LGBT-related concerns, and he also supports those facing relationship tension, grief, addictions and anger. He communicates in English and accepts international clients.
He approaches sessions with a practical, straight-talking style. He treats clients as the experts in their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. In conversation he helps people name what is happening, notice patterns, and try small changes that can reduce daily strain.
Sessions tend to focus on day-to-day coping, improving motivation, and managing strong emotions like anger and frustration. He will listen to what matters most to the client and work through realistic steps to address those concerns. Simple techniques and regular review of progress are part of the plan.
Elroy makes clear commitments about response times during normal business hours, Monday to Friday, and follows up on messages received outside those times on the next weekday. This helps set expectations for communication and planning between sessions.
People often come to him when they want clearer ways to handle anger, reduce anxiety at work, or rebuild confidence after setbacks. He encourages taking one small step at a time and checking what works as therapy progresses.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Elroy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage strong emotions and life stressors. One common approach is straightforward skills training for managing anxiety and anger, which involves learning practical steps to notice triggers, slow reactions, and practise different responses. Another approach focuses on building confidence and self-esteem through small behavioural changes and setting manageable goals that fit daily life. Finding the right approach is part of the process. He works collaboratively with clients to decide which techniques suit their needs, goals and preferences. Sessions start with a conversation about what matters now, then try methods for a few weeks and review what helps. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit around work and family commitments, remove travel time and make it easier to have shorter check-ins when needed. Discussing practicalities upfront means sessions can be scheduled in a way that fits the client's day-to-day routine without assuming any particular format.Areas of expertise
