About Tanika

Tanika Mancer is a BACP counsellor with seven years of practice supporting people through stress, anxiety and low mood. She works with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by life changes. Tanika also helps those facing work-related pressures who want to rebuild confidence and find better balance.

Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions start from a person-centred base, where the client’s experience guides the pace and agenda.

Background and approach

Tanika listens without judgement and helps people clarify what matters to them. She draws on practical tools to manage unhelpful thoughts and reduce anxiety, alongside mindfulness strategies to increase calm and focus. Narrative ideas help clients reframe difficult stories about themselves.

Solution-focused steps support small, achievable change between sessions. Tanika often works with people dealing with grief, addictions, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, and coping with chronic illness. Additional areas include attachment and abandonment issues, blended family and fatherhood concerns, body image, and communication problems.

Sessions are offered in English and Tanika accepts international clients. She offers a range of online formats to fit different needs. People who want practical tools combined with an empathetic listener may find her approach helpful.

Online support

Approaches you can access online

Client-centred work means the conversation follows the person's priorities and pace. It helps when someone needs a supportive listener and space to make sense of difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. It suits people looking for practical steps to feel better.

Tanika will work with each person to decide which approach fits best. That choice is collaborative - goals, preferences and what feels comfortable all shape the plan. Sometimes sessions mix methods, using a person-centred tone alongside CBT or solution-focused tasks to match what the client needs.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for a fuller conversation with visual cues. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for shorter check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
