About Tania

Tania Danielle Thacker is a psychotherapeutic counsellor (NCPS) practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and disordered eating, plus related issues such as low self-esteem and depression. Tania also lists work around guilt and shame among her focus areas.

Her approach is integrative. She uses a variety of therapy styles so the work can be shaped to what feels most helpful. Sessions may include talk-based work, body-oriented techniques for trauma, and mindfulness exercises.

Tania draws on specific methods when they suit the concern. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps with unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and somatic techniques are used for trauma and post-traumatic stress. Hypnotherapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can be part of the work too.

She describes having lived experience with addiction and disordered eating, and says that understanding informs her approach. That lived experience is used to inform how she talks through cravings, binge patterns, or traumatic memories with clients.

People can expect straightforward language in sessions and practical steps alongside reflective work. The therapist aims to help people recognise patterns, try different coping strategies, and look at body-based responses where appropriate.

Tania accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, clients follow the service matching steps and book a first session to see how the approach fits their needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them, and on choosing actions that reflect personal values. Online ACT sessions often involve practical exercises and committed action plans to try between meetings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. Delivered online, CBT usually includes agreed tasks, behavioural experiments and worksheets to practice between sessions.

EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories. In therapy this can involve guided attention tasks alongside talking through memories to reduce their intensity and emotional charge.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together with the client which methods to try based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration can include combining approaches when that feels helpful.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they can fit therapy around work and family commitments, use less travel time, or pick a session length that suits a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and check-ins to work well in a virtual setting.
