About Tanya
Tanya Joseph is a counsellor who blends a somatic focus with person-centred care. She works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, mood swings and trauma. Tanya uses straightforward language and a calm approach to help people feel steadier in day-to-day life.
Tanya has nine years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. She frames conversation around each person’s goals and adapts sessions to suit how someone prefers to work.
Background and approach
That might mean talking through thoughts and feelings, noticing bodily responses, or trying short practical exercises together. In sessions she draws on mindfulness techniques to help with sleep problems, low mood and anxiety. Narrative and solution-focused elements shape short-term plans and clearer next steps when people want practical changes.
Her somatic emphasis helps those who notice physical tension or dissociation linked to trauma or stress. Tanya often supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, work pressure and compassion fatigue. She also works with addictions, ADHD, bipolar and long-term illness concerns, tailoring the pace to each person’s needs.
Conversations are respectful and sensitive, with space to explore both feelings and coping options. She explains options plainly and helps people set achievable aims. Starting therapy is framed as a steady process, with the person guiding how much focus goes to thoughts, body experience or problem-solving.
Tanya aims to help people feel more in control of everyday life and better able to manage difficult moments.
How somatic and mindful approaches work online
Tanya uses somatic therapy to help people notice how stress and trauma show up in the body. This can involve simple awareness exercises, grounding techniques and gentle pacing to reduce physical tension and reactivity. Mindfulness work encourages present-moment noticing, which often helps with sleep problems, anxiety and managing mood swings.She also draws on client-centred principles, which means sessions are shaped around each person's priorities. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to match a person’s needs, goals and comfort level.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging gives practical flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for exercises and body awareness work, while phone or text options suit people who prefer less visual contact or need greater convenience. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and mobility constraints, helping people maintain continuity of care regardless of location.
