Tanya Hend, BACP

Tanya Hend supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship and family tensions, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem issues, career questions, bipolar management, ADHD, compassion fatigue and life transitions. She offers a calm, respectful presence and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Tanya communicates in English and Arabic to help clients express themselves more clearly.

Tanya uses a client-centred approach that puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. That means conversations are guided by what matters most to the individual, with the therapist listening and reflecting so goals become clearer. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at thoughts and patterns that keep problems going and works on small, manageable changes.

Every plan is tailored to the person in front of her. Sessions typically involve talking through current difficulties, identifying helpful coping strategies, and setting simple, achievable tasks to practise between meetings. Tanya aims to make sessions straightforward and useful from the first meeting.

Her British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration is listed as BACP. That credential is shown where professional details are required.

Tanya describes starting therapy as a courageous step and offers steady support through the process. She helps clients set realistic goals and checks progress as therapy continues, adjusting the approach when needed.

How Tanya’s approaches translate to online therapy

Tanya uses client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy in her online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening carefully and following what matters to the person, helping them make sense of their feelings and decide on priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at unhelpful thought patterns and practical behaviours, and helps people try small changes that can ease anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tanya collaborates with each person to decide what fits their needs and goals. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan if something isn’t working, so the process stays responsive and goal-focused.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and more natural conversation. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, brief reflections, or when someone needs to fit support around a busy day. These options make it easier to schedule regular work on goals without long travel times.
