Hello, I am Tanika and this is my counselling service. I set it up during global pandemic when I had become disillusioned by my other place of work. I had been working for a mental health service within the NHS and I was becoming increasingly frustrated with the rigidity of the service and the time limited nature of the work.
The NHS is a wonderful service and I have so many reasons to be grateful for it but as someone who has worked in the mental health service of the NHS and has also lived experienced that part of the service, I can recognise that it is really struggling and is not receiving the much needed support it needs so that service users can really feel the benefit.

The reason why I have decided to dedicate my life to helping others is because I have experienced first hand how therapy can transform lives. For me it was about identifying unhelpful ways of thinking and behaving; ways that were stopping me from achieving my potential in life. It helped me to label the things that were getting in the way of enjoying my life and feeling good about myself. Through counselling & psychotherapy I was able to improve my sense of self worth; I was able to look internally rather than externally for approval and validation.
Like many people, I have been touched by sadness and challenging times. I have experienced ill health, bereavement, trauma, relationship breakdown and mental health difficulties to name a few. The relational depth that I experienced with my own counsellor allowed me to be more compassionate and to be able to trust my ability to heal and my hope is that I can do this for others.
