About Tharani

Tharani (Dani) Fowkes helps people with relationship problems, low self-esteem, career difficulties, depression, coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems and compassion fatigue. She uses a practical, solution-focused way of working and has seven years of professional experience. Dani is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

She prefers clear, goal-orientated sessions that concentrate on what a person wants to change. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps and on noticing what already works. Dani encourages straightforward conversation about feelings and behaviour so people can make useful adjustments in day-to-day life.

Her practice also addresses avoidant personality patterns, blended family issues, cancer-related concerns, codependency and commitment worries. She works with people affected by natural or human-caused disasters, fatherhood issues, jealousy and multicultural or discrimination-related stress. Seasonal Affective Disorder and self-harm are also listed areas of focus.

Dani describes her method as practical and solution-focused. That means sessions often look at recent successes, preferences and realistic next steps rather than long-form life histories. This can suit people wanting focused work on specific problems such as sleep disruption or work-related stress.

She offers counselling in English and German and works from the United Kingdom. The approach is collaborative and action-oriented, with attention to increasing awareness and making steady change over time.

How Solution-Focused counselling works online

Solution-Focused Therapy looks at what is already helping and builds on those steps. It uses short, focused conversations to set clear goals and agree small changes that can be tried between sessions; this is useful for problems like sleep disruption, career blocks or relationship patterns.

The emphasis is practical rather than digging through every past event. Sessions concentrate on workable strategies, daily routines and noticing small improvements. That can help when the priority is clearer thinking and concrete change rather than lengthy exploration.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, then agree how to proceed together. That means the plan can change as needs become clearer.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also support people who prefer not to use video, subject to the formats offered.
