About Tania

Psychotherapeutic Counsellor (NCPS), practising in the United Kingdom, with four years of clinical experience helping people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and disordered eating. Tania Danielle Thacker focuses on practical, evidence-informed methods and draws on several approaches to meet different needs. She works in English and accepts international clients.

Tania describes her practice as integrative. She combines psychodynamic work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, hypnotherapy and mindfulness-based techniques. That variety lets her use different tools depending on the presenting difficulty rather than sticking to a single method.

She has particular experience in trauma, post-traumatic stress and addiction-related concerns, including drug and alcohol addiction and binge eating. She also addresses concerns such as body image, dissociation, abandonment and attachment issues, and problems with guilt, shame or impulsivity. These are named areas she frequently works with.

In sessions she attends to both thoughts and bodily responses. Somatic methods are part of the work when trauma or intense physiological reactions are present. Mindfulness or grounding practices are used to help manage anxiety and stress in the moment.

Clients who want coaching around life purpose, midlife transitions or confidence are offered more structured, goal-focused work alongside therapeutic exploration. Tania aims to match methods to a person’s needs and preferences rather than applying a single model to everyone.

To begin, prospective clients are asked to use the platform’s matching questionnaire and then book a first session. Fees vary by location and are managed through a cancellable subscription model.

How ACT, CBT and EMDR are used in remote sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and problems with motivation or life direction.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change patterns that maintain anxiety, low mood or unhelpful coping. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and some eating-related difficulties.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that works with distressing memories and the body’s reaction to them. It is applied to post-traumatic stress and core trauma symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, then suggest which methods to try. That choice is reviewed and adjusted as therapy proceeds so the plan fits the client’s needs.

The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into daily life - they can be easier to schedule around work, reduce travel time and make shorter check-ins possible. Registered or accredited professionals commonly adapt exercises and pacing for remote work to keep sessions practical and goal-focused.
