How Tanya's approaches translate to online work
Tanya commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them, and supports choices that align with personal values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behaviour changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tanya aims to talk through a client’s goals and preferences and then try methods that fit their needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and preferences become clearer.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep appointments around work or family commitments and to use shorter check-ins when that suits a day. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals generally use online sessions to offer continuity of care and to tailor therapy to each person's life and routine.
