Tanisha Okoli , NCPS

Tanisha Okoli is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people work through painful life events. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can tell their story and notice their strengths. Tanisha holds NCPS and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

She focuses on relationship difficulties, family conflict, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also helps people coping with grief, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and major life changes. Additional areas of attention include communication problems, domestic violence, fertility challenges, postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth, and women's issues.

Tanisha believes the person in the room knows their life best. Conversations are guided by the client's goals and priorities rather than a therapist-led agenda. She listens, reflects, and works alongside clients to identify small, practical steps that feel manageable.

Her sessions draw on straightforward techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work when helpful. Motivational interviewing is used to support change when clients are unsure which direction to take. The methods are adapted to each person's situation and pace.

People meet with Tanisha because they want a supportive, steady presence while they sort things out. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. The first step is a short questionnaire and a scheduled session to see if the match feels right.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Tanisha combines client-centred listening with straightforward cognitive behavioural techniques to help people make practical changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and strengths, giving space for them to be heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers simple tools to shift unhelpful patterns.

She also uses motivational interviewing to support people who feel uncertain about change. This method helps clarify what matters most and builds motivation in a collaborative way. Together, therapist and client choose which approach or mix of approaches fits the situation and the goals the person brings to sessions.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls are useful for a full conversation with visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins or when someone prefers writing their thoughts. These options aim to help people fit therapy around work, childcare or other commitments while still working through the issues that matter to them.
