Dr. Tania Muthen, HCPC

Dr. Tania Muthen is an experienced consultant psychologist with 16 years of clinical practice. She is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) - the UK regulator for health and care professionals - and draws on a broad clinical skill set developed across private practice and hospital settings.

She integrates multiple evidence-based approaches to build collaborative treatment plans tailored to each person's needs. Her primary methods include Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Narrative Therapy, applied to help people manage mood disorders, anxiety, stress and relationship difficulties. Her work addresses issues such as depression, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, anger, shame and guilt, isolation and problems adjusting after major life changes.

Alongside private practice, Dr. Muthen has served as a Consultant Psychologist at a private hospital delivering in-patient mental health rehabilitation and previously led a department in a government hospital in South Africa for 13 years. She has also provided therapy within medical settings, including oncology services and support for people adapting to new medical diagnoses. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process, offering a contained space for reflection, insight and practical strategies to support change and emotional wellbeing.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Muthen commonly draws on Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy in her online practice. Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression and stress. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and improving interpersonal relationships, which can be especially helpful for mood instability and intense emotions.

She also incorporates Person-Centred principles that emphasise empathic listening and collaboration, helping clients feel heard while working together to set goals. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process - Dr. Muthen works collaboratively with each person to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Dr. Muthen is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for people balancing work, family or mobility needs, and make it easier to access a registered professional from different locations within the United Kingdom. The range of formats allows the therapeutic work to fit into daily life while maintaining continuity of care.
