About Elroy
Elroy Tan is a counsellor who focuses on parenting concerns alongside a wide range of life stresses. He works with people experiencing anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, grief and difficulties with self-esteem. He also helps with addiction-related worries, sleep and eating problems, and issues connected to intimacy and compassion fatigue.
Elroy believes people know their story best and that therapy is a collaborative process. He uses practical conversations to identify small, manageable changes.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and aim to build confidence and coping skills rather than rely on jargon. He brings five years of professional experience to his practice and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. He offers focused attention during standard business hours from Monday to Friday.
Messages sent at weekends or after hours are responded to on the next weekday. Elroy’s approach is calm and goal-oriented. He listens first, then helps set clear steps clients can try between sessions.
That might include simple routines for sleep or eating, ways to manage stress, or strategies to handle difficult conversations. Therapy with him is aimed at practical support for real-life problems. People often start by naming one small change they want to make.
From there they work together to build skills and confidence that fit everyday life.

Approaches and online therapy options
Elroy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and coping skills. One common approach involves identifying everyday routines and small habits to improve sleep, eating and stress responses; this helps people regain structure and reduce overwhelm. Another approach centres on goal-focused conversation and problem solving to build confidence and tackle parenting or relationship challenges step by step.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest ways to proceed. You and the therapist decide collaboratively which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls let you see facial cues and have a deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited or when a quieter audio check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, regular encouragement, or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help fit therapy into busy family routines and varying schedules.
