Tanika Mancer, BACP

Tanika Mancer is a BACP-registered counsellor and mental health coach. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and this registration indicates professional training and adherence to an established code of practice.

She works with people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or who are finding it hard to cope with life’s challenges. Her practice supports individuals experiencing anxiety, stress, low mood, burnout, and transitions between life stages, and she specialises in work-related mental health to help clients manage pressure, rebuild confidence, and restore balance during difficult periods.

Tanika’s style is warm, collaborative, and non-judgemental, grounded in a person-centred foundation that aims to create a safe and supportive space for open conversation. Sessions focus on exploring thoughts and emotions to build clarity, increase a sense of control, and develop greater confidence and resilience.

She works at a pace that suits each person, concentrating on what matters most in their lives. Tanika offers steady support for those taking the step to reach out and does so with respect for each individual’s experience.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online support

Tanika uses a client-centred approach that focuses on the person rather than labels or diagnoses - this involves active listening and creating space for clients to explore their feelings and priorities, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and navigating life changes. She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which many people find useful for managing stress and improving day-to-day functioning. Mindfulness-based methods are offered to help develop present-moment awareness and coping skills for emotional regulation and reducing reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Tanika works collaboratively with each client to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a shared exploration where techniques are adapted over time to support progress.

Online therapy with Tanika is available by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from home or while travelling, and allow registered professionals and therapists to work with clients in ways that suit their daily life.
