About Elroy
Elroy Tan helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and life changes. He also supports people dealing with LGBT issues, self‑esteem and confidence, addictions, grief, relationship concerns and parenting pressures. He uses a straightforward, respectful approach that puts the person’s experience first. If you have taken a first step towards therapy, he acknowledges that and gently builds from there.
Elroy works from the view that each person knows their own story. He listens for strengths and practical ways to use them. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that feel manageable. Conversations aim to be direct and down to earth rather than full of jargon.
He brings five years of professional experience to the work and holds BACP. That means he follows the standards associated with that accreditation in the UK. He offers attention during standard business hours, Monday to Friday, and replies to messages received outside those times on the next weekday.
In session you can expect a calm, collaborative tone and help to sort priorities. He will work with you on coping strategies for anxiety and mood, ways to improve sleep and daily routines, and approaches to rebuild confidence. He also talks through relationship and parenting strains one step at a time.
If you prefer a practical focus, Elroy will outline simple tasks between sessions. He supports people who want to change habits, manage stress better, and regain a sense of control in daily life.
How evidence-based approaches work in online care
Elroy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear problems and workable strategies. One common approach he uses involves helping people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns to reduce anxiety and low mood. This kind of work centres on practical tasks and behaviour changes that can be tried between sessions.Another approach emphasises building on strengths and small steps towards goals. That method looks at what is already going well and uses those strengths to tackle current difficulties, such as improving sleep, managing stress or rebuilding confidence.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He aims to be collaborative and will discuss options with clients to choose what fits their needs, goals and preferences. Clients are encouraged to feed back on what helps and what does not so the plan can be adjusted.
If you want online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep continuity of care if they are travelling or living abroad.
