About Tanika
Tanika Mancer is a BACP counsellor with seven years of experience supporting people through anxiety, stress and life changes. She offers straightforward, practical help for low mood, burnout and work-related struggles. Tanika aims to create a calm space where clients can speak honestly and begin to feel more in control.
Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. She listens first, then helps people make sense of their thoughts and feelings so they can take small, manageable steps forward.
Background and approach
Tanika uses a person-centred base alongside tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. That mix helps with noticing unhelpful thinking, learning coping skills, and building steady routines for sleep, eating and daily life. Narrative and solution-focused ideas are used when it helps clients reframe difficult stories and identify practical next steps.
She works with a wide range of concerns including relationship strain, grief, addiction issues, parenting stress and long-term health challenges. Tanika also offers support around identity questions including LGBT matters and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. Sessions aim to restore confidence, reduce overwhelm and make day-to-day life more manageable.
The emphasis is on clear goals and simple strategies that fit into busy lives. If someone wants a coach-style focus, Tanika can blend short-term coaching with therapeutic work.
How Tanika’s approaches work online
Tanika blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness in online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and the client’s own priorities, helping people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours, teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy uses simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and increase awareness of the present moment.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Tanika will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the client and counsellor adapt methods over time, combining short coaching tasks, practical CBT exercises or gentle mindfulness practices as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and worked exercises. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer not to use a camera. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and health commitments.
