Dr Tanya Alagh, PhD

Psychologist

“I am a psychologist with extensive experience providing counseling and psychotherapy to individuals across the lifespan, with a special focus on adolescents and adults. I work with clients facing stress, anxiety, depression, adjustment difficulties, relationship challenges, substance-related concerns, and infertility-related emotional struggles. My therapeutic style is eclectic and client-centered, grounded strongly in cognitive-behavioral techniques while integrating other evidence-based approaches according to each individual’s needs. I believe therapy should be a collaborative process, and I strive to create a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported. I work alongside clients to build insight, strengthen coping skills, enhance resilience, and move toward meaningful, sustainable change. My aim is not only symptom relief but also helping individuals develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their patterns, enabling them to lead more balanced and fulfilling lives.”

About Me

I hold a PhD in psychology, with research focused on psychological well-being and quality of life in the geriatric population. This academic background, combined with my clinical experience, gives me a strong understanding of life-span development, transitions, and the evolving emotional needs individuals face at different stages of life. Clients often describe me as warm, patient, and approachable. I understand that seeking therapy can feel daunting, and I make it a priority to ensure the process feels comfortable, respectful, and paced according to each client’s readiness. My work is guided by empathy, cultural sensitivity, and a belief in each person’s capacity for growth. I am deeply committed to supporting individuals in enhancing their emotional well-being, strengthening their relationships, and building lives that feel meaningful and fulfilling.

Approach

I follow an eclectic and integrative approach, tailoring therapy to each individual’s unique needs, goals, and life context. My work is grounded in evidence-based methods, with particular emphasis on: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) – to help identify and modify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) – to address core beliefs and emotional responses Supportive Psychotherapy – to provide emotional support and strengthen coping resources Solution-Focused Techniques – to build on strengths and move toward practical, achievable goals Mindfulness-Based Strategies – to improve emotional regulation and present-moment awareness I believe therapy is most effective when it is collaborative, structured when needed, and flexible when required, ensuring that each client feels understood while also working toward meaningful progress.
