About Elroy
Elroy Tan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief and LGBT-related concerns. He encourages clients to recognise their own strengths and to take small steps that build confidence and motivation.
Elroy approaches each session as a collaborative conversation. He aims to listen fully and reflect back what matters most to the client. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage difficult feelings, build coping skills and make changes that fit into everyday life.
Background and approach
He schedules appointments during standard business hours, Monday to Friday, and responds to messages received outside those times on the next weekday. This arrangement helps set clear expectations about contact and response times. Elroy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide his work and tailors his approach to each person’s needs.
He places emphasis on helping people identify strengths, set manageable goals and practise new ways of coping between sessions. People who choose to work with him often start by describing a single immediate concern, such as trouble sleeping, overwhelming stress, or relationship strain. From there he helps them map out a short-term plan and decide what to focus on next.

How evidence-based methods translate to online counselling
Elroy draws on commonly used evidence-based techniques that help with mood and daily functioning. One approach focuses on building practical coping skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress; it teaches simple breathing, planning and behavioural steps to break cycles of worry. Another method emphasises identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them against real-life experience to ease low mood and increase motivation.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. He works with each client to decide which techniques best match their needs, goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. That collaborative decision-making helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.
Confirm the session options with the therapist before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people connect from different locations, which can help those living overseas or away from a local service.
