About Tania
Counsellor Tania Danielle Thacker, NCPS, has four years' experience working with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and disordered eating. She practises in the United Kingdom and offers help with self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. Tania also lists coaching among her services.
Tania uses an integrative, counselling-focused style. She combines approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), hypnotherapy and mindfulness. That mix means she can draw on different ways of working to suit what each person needs.
She has substantial experience in trauma work and in supporting people with binge eating and substance use issues. Tania describes having lived experience with some of these problems, which she says informs how she listens and responds. Sessions commonly cover practical ways to manage symptoms and look at patterns that keep problems going.
In practice she uses body-based methods alongside talking therapies. Somatic approaches are used for trauma and post-traumatic stress, while CBT and ACT are offered for anxiety, mood and coping strategies. EMDR and hypnotherapy are noted as part of her toolkit for trauma and processing distressing memories.
People can expect a direct, practical conversation about what they want from counselling and how to work towards that. The site’s booking flow asks for a short questionnaire and offers a way to schedule a first session. If a reader needs clarification on session length or formats, they should confirm options before booking.
How her approaches work for online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps with anxiety, stress and life changes by clarifying values and small actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It offers practical strategies to reduce worry, shift unhelpful habits and manage low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process distressing memories. It can be offered when trauma or post-traumatic stress is a main concern and often involves guided bilateral stimulation alongside talk work. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and then test methods that suit the person. That collaborative planning helps choose whether to focus on skills, memory processing or body-based techniques. Please confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life and can reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed and removes the need to be physically present at a clinic for every meeting.Areas of expertise
