About Tania
Dr. Tania Muthen is a Chartered Consultant Psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). She has 16 years of clinical experience and works with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and relationship and anger difficulties.
She combines several evidence-based approaches in her practice. In sessions she commonly uses Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Narrative Therapy. These methods guide how she structures sessions and responds to immediate concerns.
Her background includes leadership and hospital-based roles. She spent 13 years as Head of Department in a government hospital in South Africa and for the last two years has worked as a Consultant Psychologist at a private hospital providing in-patient mental health rehabilitation services. She has also worked in medical practice settings, including adult oncology and therapy for newly diagnosed medical conditions.
Typical issues she helps people address include mood disorders, panic and anxiety, post-traumatic stress, grief and loss, and problems with control, guilt and shame. She also supports work on self-compassion, anger management and rebuilding identity after separation or divorce.
Dr Muthen aims to develop a treatment plan with each person. She integrates theoretical approaches to fit the problem being discussed and works collaboratively to set goals and practical steps in therapy.

How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Dr Muthen commonly draws on Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy and Narrative Therapy in her work. Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns of behaviour; it is often used for anxiety, panic and mood problems. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from their difficulties by examining the stories they tell about events and relationships, which can be useful for issues like shame, identity and grief.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with the person about their symptoms, goals and preferences and together they will decide which techniques to try. This collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted over time if something is not helping.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. They also let people continue therapy when attending in-person appointments would be difficult. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists use a range of methods remotely to keep discussions focused and practical.
