About Tanisha
Tanisha Okoli is a counsellor who uses a client-focused approach to help people move through hard moments. She draws on three years of professional experience in the UK and works in English. Tanisha encourages people to notice their own strengths and to draw on those when they face difficult changes.
She commonly supports people dealing with relationship strain, communication problems and family conflict. She also helps those affected by trauma and abuse, domestic violence, grief and loss, and issues around pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum adjustment.
How Tanisha works
Tanisha works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Her way of working is straightforward and practical. Sessions often look at what is happening now, what the person wants to change, and small steps forward.
She uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow each person’s pace and priorities, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people feeling stuck and Solution-Focused Therapy to build on what is already working. These methods are used together to suit each person rather than following a fixed formula.
Tanisha aims to make sessions feel collaborative and respectful. People begin by talking through their situation and setting simple goals. From there they try approaches that fit their needs and adjust as progress is made.
The emphasis is on practical steps and on strengthening the person’s own resources.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so the person can articulate their goals and find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain distress and uses practical exercises to try new ways of responding to challenges. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk about goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then try methods that match those needs. Sessions are adjusted as progress is made so the approach can change if something else would work better.
Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and working through exercises, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or times with lower bandwidth, and messaging lets people share thoughts between sessions or check in on the move. This range of formats helps people fit therapy into busy lives and keeps continuity when in-person meetings are not possible.
