About Tania
Dr. Tania Muthen is a Chartered Consultant Psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and has 16 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, mood problems and relationship difficulties, and has particular experience with social anxiety and phobia among other concerns.
She draws on several evidence-based approaches to build a treatment plan with each person. Dr Muthen commonly uses Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Narrative Therapy. These methods are combined to match the issue being addressed rather than used in the same way for everyone.
Alongside private practice, she works as a Consultant Psychologist at a private hospital where she provides in-patient mental health rehabilitation. Before that she led a department in a government hospital in South Africa for 13 years and has experience in medical settings including oncology and newly diagnosed medical conditions.
In sessions she aims to help people understand mood changes, manage anxiety and panic, and look at patterns such as guilt, shame and control issues. She also supports work on loss, anger, self-compassion and rebuilding identity after separation or major life change.
People who come to her often want practical steps and clearer ways to cope day to day. She works collaboratively to set goals and to try different approaches until they find what helps in real life.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Dr Muthen commonly uses Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy and Narrative Therapy in her work. Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, panic and mood problems. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps them reframe those stories to reduce shame, guilt and isolation.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works with clients to decide which techniques to try, and adapts methods based on each person’s needs and goals. This is a collaborative process where feedback and adjustment are expected as part of treatment.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online or remote sessions useful because they fit more easily around work, reduce travel time and can make it simpler to attend regular check-ins. Some formats also make it possible to have shorter or more frequent appointments when that suits a person’s schedule.
