About me
Hello, my name is Tanya (T.H. Counselling Service). I am a professionally qualified person-centred, integrative counsellor. I have worked with people experiencing a number of difficulties, including depression, grief & loss, stress, low mood, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, difficult life changes and transitions, childhood abuse, domestic abuse, low self-esteem, low confidence and much more. I strongly believe that within each person lies the capacity for personal growth and self-fulfilment. Life challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, but experience has shown me that it is possible to overcome problems and grow in a positive direction with the right help and support.
I treat my clients with a gentle approach and aim to provide a supportive, genuine, empathic and non-judgemental environment to support you. I will work collaboratively with you to build a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust and respect and will encourage you to explore your thoughts and feelings freely, which will ultimately empower you to find your own solutions and paths to well-being.
Our first session will allow you to discuss your needs and consider if you think I am the right counsellor for you. I will also be able to find out more about you and tell you more about the counselling process during this session.
If you are considering counselling, please contact me for more information or to book an initial session. I offer counselling face-to-face from my room in Weston-super-Mare BS23, BS22 and online by video/voice call or telephone to clients located throughout the UK. You can also find more information on my website.
Training, qualifications & experience
My professional experience includes working with adults in a charity setting and young people in a school setting. I have worked with people experiencing a number of difficulties, including depression, grief & loss, stress, low mood, anxiety, relationship problems, difficult life changes and transitions, childhood abuse, domestic abuse, low self-esteem, low confidence and much more.
I hold an FdSc Degree in counselling from Bath Spa University, am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and hold an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Certificate. I have also successfully completed training to work online as a counsellor. I regularly partake in continued professional development workshops, training and events to maintain my competency as a counsellor and continuously enhance my skills and knowledge.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
