Tanisha Okoli, NCPS

Tanisha Okoli is a qualified UK counsellor with 3 years of professional experience and holds the NCPS credential, indicating professional training in counselling. She has supported people navigating relationship difficulties, family conflicts, experiences of trauma and abuse, and the process of grieving and loss.

Tanisha approaches each relationship with respect for the client's perspective, working from the view that people are the experts in their own stories and bring strengths that can help them move through challenges. She aims to create a collaborative space where clients can explore their experiences, build on existing resources, and develop practical ways to manage difficult emotions and situations.

Recognising that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life requires courage, Tanisha offers steady support throughout that process. She focuses on helping clients identify their goals, clarify what matters to them, and take achievable steps toward change while acknowledging the resilience they already possess.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Tanisha uses client-centered therapy to place the client's experience at the heart of the work, offering a nonjudgmental listening approach that helps individuals explore feelings and discover their own solutions - this is often useful for relationship concerns, family issues, and grief.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and gently challenge unhelpful thoughts and build practical strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is used when clients want to find internal motivation for change, helping them weigh options and move toward goals at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tanisha works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as the work evolves.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used when that format better suits a person's schedule or comfort. These options make it easier for people to access consistent support while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
