A Warm Welcome To You...

Hello and welcome!

I'm Tanya, the founder of Life Forge, where I am dedicated to supporting children, teenagers, and adults through their unique life challenges. My background spans through education, psychology, and youth services, alongside an enriching experience with military support, shaping my holistic approach to fostering personal development and well-being.

Having earned a BA Honours Degree in Education in 2006, I have nurtured young minds in the South of England, empowering them to overcome adversities and shape a promising future. 

My career path also led me to serve as a Specialist Instructional Officer for the Ministry of Defence, enriching the lives of military personnel with essential IT, motivation, and professional development skills. This role deepened my understanding of the distinct challenges faced by those in and transitioning out of military service, fueling my commitment to supporting this community.

Since becoming a mother, I've balanced personal growth with professional aspirations, continually advancing my qualifications in psychology and counseling. I am currently working towards my CPCAB Counselling credentials to complement my Master’s Degree in Psychology.

At Life Forge, I integrate psychology, educational techniques, and counseling skills to create a comprehensive approach to help individuals of all ages, manage stress, navigate relationships, and enhance parenting skills. I specialise in areas such as stress management, relationship clarity and support, and personal development, providing tailored support that fosters resilience and self-awareness.

Through one-on-one online sessions, I offer a safe, empathetic space for exploring personal challenges and discovering sustainable strategies for growth and success. Whether you are a teenager seeking direction, a parent in need of guidance, or a veteran adapting to civilian life, Life Forge is your sanctuary for transformation.

Let's embark on this journey of self-discovery and empowerment together. Your path to a fulfilling life begins here at Life Forge.
