About Tanya

Tanya Hend is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing relationship and family tensions, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar challenges, career questions, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Tanya works in English and Arabic and is based in the United Kingdom.

Tanya uses a straightforward, respectful style. She listens first, then shapes conversations to suit each person. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking so people can cope with day-to-day pressures. She aims to make the process achievable rather than overwhelming.

Her main approaches include Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Client-Centred work means the person’s priorities guide the session and the therapist follows their lead. CBT offers tools to spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural changes that can make life feel steadier.

Tanya holds BACP, which is shown as her provided credential. She brings three years of experience working directly with clients in the UK. That time has given her repeated exposure to common stressors and to ways of helping people feel more in control.

She encourages a collaborative relationship where goals are agreed together. If someone is unsure about what to expect, Tanya will outline an approach and adjust it as they progress.

How Tanya’s approaches translate to online work

Tanya draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to support people remotely. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the person’s agenda, listening with attention and shaping sessions around what matters most to them. This can help when someone needs a calm space to talk through difficult feelings.

CBT provides concrete techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and to test small changes in daily routines. It often suits concerns such as anxiety, stress, anger and mood difficulties because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person’s needs. That collaborative process helps refine what is most useful over time.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives flexibility for people who want to work with a therapist who speaks English or Arabic without geographic limits.
