About Tania
Dr. Tania Muthen is a Chartered Consultant Psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). She has 16 years of clinical experience supporting people through mood and anxiety difficulties. Many come to her worried about overwhelming anxiety, panic attacks or low mood. She aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and respectful.
Dr Muthen works from a blend of practical approaches. She commonly draws on Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Narrative Therapy to build a plan with each person. Sessions focus on clear, manageable goals and simple strategies that can be used between meetings.
Her background includes senior roles in hospital settings and work in adult oncology and rehabilitation. She also spent many years leading a department in South Africa, and currently works as a Consultant Psychologist in a private hospital. That range of experience informs how she thinks about mood disorders, stress and recovery.
In session she emphasises collaboration and practical tools. People are invited to notice patterns, try new ways of responding, and practise skills that reduce distress. Issues she often addresses include depression, bipolar disorder, panic disorder and panic attacks, relationship difficulties, anger, guilt and shame, and social anxiety.
Many clients value straightforward explanations and step-by-step plans. If worry or mood symptoms are making daily life harder, she supports people to understand what is happening and to make small, workable changes.
Therapeutic approaches and how online work can fit
Dr Muthen commonly uses Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy alongside Person-Centred and Narrative approaches. Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies for anxiety and panic. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy focuses on emotion regulation and coping skills to manage intense feelings and impulsive reactions.Finding the right approach is a process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify what feels most useful for each person and adapts methods to suit their goals and preferences. Decisions about techniques are reviewed together as therapy progresses.
Please confirm the available session options before booking, as session formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep continuity of care if circumstances change, while still allowing hands-on practice of skills between meetings.
