Tanika Mancer, BACP

Tanika Mancer is a BACP counsellor and mental health coach based in the United Kingdom. She works with people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or like they are struggling to cope. Tanika aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, approachable presence and practical help to move forward.

She supports people with anxiety, stress, low mood, burnout and life transitions. She also focuses on work-related mental health, helping clients manage pressure, rebuild confidence and find better balance during stressful periods. Sessions look at what is happening now and what small changes could help.

Tanika’s way of working is warm and collaborative. She uses a person-centred foundation, which means she listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace. Conversations are practical and focused on real concerns rather than abstract labels.

She draws on a mix of approaches including cognitive techniques and mindfulness to help people manage thoughts and calm the body. Narrative and solution-focused ideas are used too, to help clients reframe problems and set achievable goals. The work is aimed at clarity, confidence and coping skills.

Sessions are guided by what matters most to the client. She helps people break problems into manageable steps, try new ways of responding, and review progress. If you want a straightforward, supportive approach that combines listening with practical tools, Tanika offers that blend of support and action.

How Tanika’s approaches work online

Tanika uses a person-centred approach that focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. This helps build trust, clarify priorities and set the pace for change. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical tools for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking patterns.

Mindfulness Therapy helps people build awareness of their body and mind with simple attention practices. It can be useful for managing stress, improving sleep and reducing overwhelm. Together with narrative and solution-focused ideas, these approaches help clients reframe problems, spot small changes and set achievable goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is reviewed over time so the plan can change as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not detail them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and mindfulness practices to work well across different setups.
