You might be struggling with a specific problem like anxiety, low mood or OCD.
I am Dr Tanya McDonnaugh, an experienced Clinical Psychologist (DClinPsy) registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC). I've helped scores of people to transform their lives, using evidence-based psychological therapies to create long-lasting and meaningful change. Being human can be a wonderful experience, full of joy and connection; but it can also be overwhelming, bewildering, and exhausting.  It’s no wonder many of us end up repeating unhelpful behaviours that defeat our interests, despite our knowledge and best intentions.

Some people seek psychotherapy and counselling because of a quiet desire for something more, some because of an absence of joy and liveliness, some feel a lingering sadness, some find themselves in shallow relationships, some are suffering the pains of depression, anxiety or anger, some feel close to madness, some are curious to take a closer look at the riches within.
In psychotherapy and counselling with me, you will be invited to bring the complexities of your inner and outer life as you work with me on the journey of becoming truly yourself. Regular deep listening and attention to your inner and outer life, past, present and future, will accompany your growth. Fees for ongoing work are discussed in the first session.

These can be explored more in-depth in open-ended therapy (once or twice weekly) or with a special focus in short-term therapy (12 sessions). In addition to my private practice, I previously worked as an Associate Counsellor at the Royal College of Art.

If you are struggling with saying no and ending up pleasing everybody but yourself, feel trapped and incapable to get rid of worries and anxiety or just overwhelmed with your current life situation then perhaps you are not meeting some of your needs.
I focus on understanding your unconscious processes and behavioural patterns as much as the biology behind the mind and body connection. This helps me gain a deep understanding of stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and much more. I work around you to find the best approach and therapeutic style to support you in the challenges life gives us.

Clients often come to me when sleep has become difficult, anxiety feels hard to switch off, or that they feel stuck in patterns of self-criticism, pressure, relationship difficulty or disconnection.
My particular interest is the relationship between emotional wellbeing, stress, insomnia and the body. Drawing on integrative psychotherapy, relational, person-centred and psychodynamic principles, I offer a reflective space to explore anxiety, sleep difficulties, self-criticism and relationship patterns, and to understand what may be keeping you stuck.

As a therapist with significant lived experience across these areas, I can bring an empathetic and informed lens to my work, especially focusing on themes of belonging and community.
