What Kaya Means
Kaya means home.
Not just a physical place, but a feeling of safety, grounding, and belonging within yourself. At Kaya Mind, therapy is about creating that sense of “home” again, especially in those moments when life feels overwhelming, exhausting, or difficult to navigate.
This is a space where you don’t need to have all the answers, hold everything together, or pretend you’re coping. It is a space where you can pause, breathe, and begin to reconnect with yourself.
Who I am
My name is Tanika and I am a BACP-registered counsellor and mental health coach.
I specialise in supporting individuals experiencing burnout, anxiety, and life pressures. I also bring a strong background in work-related mental health, helping people navigate stress, rebuild confidence, and find balance during challenging periods.
I understand how easy it is to become overwhelmed when you are constantly managing responsibilities, expectations, and change, often without enough space to pause and reflect.
My aim is to offer a calm, supportive environment where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported.

My approach
I work in a warm, collaborative, and empathetic way, creating a space where you can feel safe to speak openly, without judgement or pressure.
At the heart of my work is a person-centred approach, meaning we move at a pace that feels right for you. There is no expectation to have everything figured out, therapy is a space to explore things gently and in your own time.
I work in a holistic and integrative way, tailoring each session to what you need in the moment. This means our work can take different forms depending on what feels most helpful, including:
- Gaining a clearer understanding of patterns or experiences
- Talking through difficult or overwhelming emotions
- Finding ways to feel more grounded and manage day-to-day challenges
Sessions are shaped collaboratively, creating space for both reflection and practical support, helping you develop a deeper understanding of yourself while also feeling steadier and more supported in everyday life.
Above all, this is a space where you can begin to reconnect with yourself, without pressure to be anything other than where you are right now.
