Tania Danielle Thacker, NCPS

Tania Danielle Thacker is a UK-based psychotherapeutic counsellor with four years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and disordered eating such as binge eating. She combines clinical training with lived experience to offer empathetic, knowledgeable care for those navigating recovery and change.

Holding the NCPS credential, which indicates registration as a practising psychotherapeutic counsellor, she works from an integrative perspective that draws on multiple therapeutic styles. This flexible approach allows her to tailor sessions to each person rather than applying a single method to everyone.

Tania has particular experience in trauma work, including interventions that engage the body and the nervous system. She uses somatic and mindfulness-based practices alongside evidence-informed therapies to address post-traumatic stress, dissociation, and complex reactions that often accompany abuse, attachment wounds, and abandonment. She also supports people facing addictions, eating and food-related difficulties, and issues with self-esteem, guilt and shame.

Her manner is open and nonjudgmental, focused on creating a space where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely. She aims to empower clients to find practical coping strategies, clarify life purpose, and build more fulfilling relationships and self-relationship over time.

Approaches for Online Healing and Trauma Work

Tania commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) alongside mindfulness-based practices. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and learn practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful habits. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that works with how the brain stores distressing memories and can reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions for those with PTSD and complex trauma. Mindfulness therapy involves simple attention and awareness practices that support emotional regulation, reduce rumination, and improve tolerance for difficult sensations and feelings.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Tania collaborates with each person to explore what feels most useful given their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts techniques over time rather than prescribing a single path up front.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. This range of options helps people access consistent support from registered professionals without needing to travel, and makes it easier to maintain momentum between sessions when life is busy or change is underway.
