Tanisha Okoli, NCPS

Tanisha Okoli is a counsellor who works from a person-centred approach. She listens closely and helps people find their own solutions. Tanisha draws on practical methods to help with day-to-day problems and longer standing worries.

She has three years of professional experience offering support in the United Kingdom. Her practice focuses on relationship difficulties, family tensions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and recovery from stressful life changes. She also helps people dealing with low self-esteem, anxiety and depression.

Tanisha uses clear, goal-focused tools alongside a warm, non-judgemental way of working. She blends client-centred listening with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, motivational interviewing and solution-focused therapy. That mix helps people tackle unhelpful thoughts, improve communication and set manageable goals.

Practical problems such as communication breakdowns, domestic violence, fertility-related stress, and pregnancy or postpartum concerns are part of her focus areas. She supports women navigating these challenges and the emotional impact they bring.

Sessions are offered in English. Tanisha encourages small steps and realistic plans so progress feels doable. She aims to make the first steps less daunting and to help people build on their own strengths.

Using evidence-informed approaches online

Client-centred therapy focuses on genuine listening and helping people feel understood. It is useful when someone needs space to talk through feelings and make sense of their own priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try methods together to see what helps. That collaborative process means plans can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life. Video is useful for deeper conversations, phone can suit lower bandwidth or shorter check-ins, and messaging works well for brief updates or flexible check-ins across the week. These formats make it easier to work around school, work or caring responsibilities while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
