About Tanya

Tanya Hend is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience in clinical practice in the United Kingdom. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship tensions, family conflict, trauma and abuse, depression, anger and low self-esteem. She also offers support around career concerns, bipolar, coping with life changes, coaching and compassion fatigue.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions focus on listening first, then working through what causes the strongest reactions. Tanya uses client-centred conversation to uncover what matters to the individual. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to map patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going.

In practice she aims to adjust how conversations and the plan unfold to reflect each person’s needs. That can mean focusing on practical strategies, exploring feelings, or combining both methods across sessions. She speaks English and Arabic, which can help when people prefer to switch between languages during a session.

Her background includes work with a range of common difficulties people bring to counselling. The emphasis is on helping clients notice triggers, try different responses, and practise new ways of handling tense moments. The aim is clearer thinking and fewer reactive episodes, not a quick fix.

To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a listening-led conversation. The counsellor follows what the client brings, reflects what they say, and helps them clarify their own priorities. This approach helps when someone needs to name feelings and be helped to make decisions about next steps.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and test new ways of responding. CBT can be useful for anger that follows repeated thought patterns or for managing anxiety and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Tanya will discuss the options and agree what to try first based on the client’s goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as sessions progress.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family routines, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when life is busy. It also lets people choose conversations that suit quieter surroundings, lower data use if needed, or simply not being on camera for a session.
