About Tania
Dr. Tania Muthen is a Chartered Consultant Psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). She has 16 years of clinical experience providing therapeutic and assessment services across hospital and private practice settings. Her work covers mood and anxiety problems, relationship strain, anger, bipolar disorder and depression.
She uses a mix of evidence-based techniques and adapts them to each person's situation. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that keep difficulties going and testing small, manageable changes. Practical skills and clearer thinking are used alongside reflective conversation.
Dr Muthen has worked in inpatient mental health rehabilitation and led a department in a government hospital in South Africa for 13 years. She has also provided therapy in medical and oncology settings, which informs her approach to adjustment after illness or life change. This background influences how she balances assessment, practical coping tools and emotional processing.
Typical work includes mood management, panic and social anxiety, grief and loss, and dealing with control issues, guilt and shame. She also supports people who want to understand patterns in relationships and to reduce recurring anger and resentment.
Clients can expect a collaborative plan that draws on Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Person-Centred methods, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Narrative Therapy. Sessions aim to help people notice what keeps problems going, try alternative responses and build more sustainable ways of coping.
Approaches used online and how they help
Dr Muthen commonly uses Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and teach practical coping skills for anxiety, panic and low mood. She also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques to help with emotional regulation and tolerating strong feelings without acting on them.She matches methods to each person and works collaboratively to find what fits best. That means testing a way of working for a few sessions, then adjusting based on what helps you meet your goals and what feels manageable.
