Tania Danielle Thacker

Tania Danielle Thacker is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who combines practical therapy methods with a warm, down-to-earth style. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and disordered eating, and helps people who are struggling with low self-esteem or big life changes. Her approach aims to make talking about painful things feel manageable and clear.

She draws on a mix of approaches so sessions can be tailored to each person. That can mean talking through unhelpful thoughts with cognitive behavioural tools, using mindfulness to reduce overwhelm, or working with the body to reduce trauma symptoms. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing and hypnotherapy are also part of her toolkit when appropriate.

Tania notes that living experience of addiction, trauma and disordered eating shapes her outlook. She uses that perspective alongside trained methods to understand what day-to-day recovery looks like. This helps her focus on practical steps, not just ideas.

Sessions aim to be collaborative. She works at a pace people can cope with and adapts techniques to suit individual needs. People can expect straightforward language and clear suggestions to try between sessions.

With four years of experience and the NCPS credential, she works with people in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. If you want someone who blends body-focused trauma work with evidence-based talking therapies, she may be a fit.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting pulled into them, then choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and low mood and can be practised through conversational exercises and short at-home tasks. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thinking patterns that keep problems going and learning small practical skills to change them; it suits issues like anxiety, depression and some eating concerns. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets distress linked to past trauma and uses guided bilateral stimulation alongside memory processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different options and decide together which methods fit the client's needs, goals and comfort level. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel, and it lets people continue therapy if they relocate internationally. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or sessions without video if bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits often help people sustain regular contact with a therapist and apply what they learn in everyday life.
