About Tanika

She works with those facing work pressure, burnout and life transitions, and offers practical help to rebuild confidence.

Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. She listens without judgement and helps clients name what feels difficult.
Background and approach
Together they set manageable goals and decide the pace of work. Tanika draws on Narrative and Client-Centred ways of working. That means she helps people examine the stories they tell about themselves and consider new perspectives.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioural and Solution-Focused tools to identify patterns and try practical changes between sessions. She often combines mindfulness techniques with coaching skills to support coping and decision-making. This can help with sleep, self-esteem, overwhelm and day-to-day challenges at work or home.
The emphasis is on simple, achievable steps clients can use right away. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged by video, phone, live chat or messaging. Tanika works with people across the United Kingdom and accepts international clients.
If someone prefers a paced, person-centred approach that still aims for practical change, she may be a good fit.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Tanika directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How Narrative and Practical Approaches Work Online
Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and their lives. Online sessions can be used to reframe difficult events and to explore alternative meanings that reduce shame and blame.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows your lead, offering a supportive space where you can talk through what matters most. This approach is useful for building confidence and working through overwhelm.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In remote sessions CBT tools can help identify unhelpful patterns and try small behaviour changes between meetings to improve mood and sleep.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and preferences and will suggest ways of working that suit your needs. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can be a better fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer to write, want quick reflections during the week, or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments.
