About Elroy
Elroy Tan is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, LGBT-related concerns, anger and other life pressures. He encourages people to take the first step and acknowledges that starting therapy often needs courage.
Elroy holds a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration (BACP). He approaches sessions as a collaborative process, treating the client as the expert on their own story. Conversations focus on strengths and practical steps to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve day-to-day coping.
Sessions tend to look at what triggers intense reactions, and what helps calm things down in the moment. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. That means small, manageable experiments between sessions as well as talking things through during meetings.
Elroy makes time for clients during standard business hours, Monday to Friday. Messages sent at weekends or after business hours are responded to on the next weekday. He asks people to use the service booking flow to choose online therapy options and schedule a first session.
Their work covers practical issues such as sleep, appetite, parenting pressures, work stress and relationship strain. Conversations can also address grief, trauma, addiction concerns and career direction in clear, down-to-earth terms.
How sessions work
Practical approaches and how online sessions work
Elroy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage strong emotions. One common approach focuses on recognising physical and mental warning signs before anger escalates, then practising short grounding or breathing exercises to reduce intensity. This helps with stress, sleep disturbance and moments of sudden frustration.A second approach involves mapping patterns in behaviour and thought. By tracking what leads to negative reactions, clients can try small changes between sessions and see what makes a difference. This approach is useful for depression, low motivation and relationship strain because it turns ideas into concrete practice.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. He will discuss options and decide together which techniques fit a person's goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps keep sessions focused and practical.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available online formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, allow quieter check-ins that do not need long travel, and can let people try shorter or longer sessions depending on what suits their schedule. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt approaches to suit the time and setting you have.
