About Tanika

Tanika Mancer is a BACP counsellor with seven years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, low mood and life changes. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through what feels overwhelming. Tanika also helps people facing work-related pressures, burnout, and the knock-on effects of low confidence.

Her way of working is warm and collaborative. She starts from a person-centred base, listening carefully to each person’s story before suggesting practical steps. Sessions often focus on building coping skills, making sense of painful feelings, and finding small changes that make daily life easier.

Treatment plans are shaped around the individual rather than a fixed formula. Tanika draws on cognitive behavioural ideas when helpful, alongside mindfulness and solution-focused tools to support clearer thinking and steady progress. Narrative techniques are used to reframe difficult experiences so they feel less defining.

She has particular experience with issues linked to relationships, identity and addiction, as well as challenges such as sleep problems, eating concerns, ADHD, chronic illness and grief. Practical coaching around career decisions and work stress is also offered.

Sessions move at a pace the person feels comfortable with. The emphasis is on small, actionable changes and learning ways to manage difficult emotions. People who want a straightforward, empathetic counsellor who listens and helps them find workable steps often find this approach helpful.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Tanika often uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means she listens without judgement and helps people lead the conversation about what matters most. This approach is helpful for anyone who needs a supportive space to make sense of overwhelming feelings.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioural changes. CBT-style work can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress linked to work or everyday demands.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tanika will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together they will decide which approaches to try and when to adapt the plan. That collaborative decision-making helps sessions stay relevant and practical.

If you are considering online work, check the session formats available before booking as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support continuity through life transitions by keeping sessions consistent even when schedules change.
