How Tanika works
She also supports people facing grief, trauma, addiction concerns and intimacy-related difficulties. Her sessions use a warm, collaborative style. Conversations focus on what matters most to the person sitting across from her.
Tanika listens without judgement and helps clients make sense of their thoughts and emotions so they can take manageable steps forward. Practically, she adapts the pace and methods to each person. Techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work are used alongside mindfulness and narrative approaches when helpful.
The emphasis is on clear, practical tools people can try between sessions. People who come to Tanika often want help with self-esteem, coping with change, parenting strains, or attention and executive function challenges such as ADHD. She also addresses body image, chronic illness, addiction and communication problems.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Tanika draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments that change mood or behaviour. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and practical problems such as sleep or worry. She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice their experience with less reactivity and build steady coping skills for stress and burnout. Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Tanika will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will choose which methods to try. That way the work stays focused on what the person wants to achieve and can be adjusted as needs change. Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging make it easier to fit brief exchanges into a work break or a hectic day. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care and try different formats to discover what works best for each individual.Start online instead of waiting
