Cecilia Tankey is an accomplished counsellor and psychotherapist with more than eighteen years of experience in practice. Cecilia has worked across diverse settings with adolescents and adults presenting with a wide range of presenting concerns.

Cecilia is a grounded, thoughtful, and trauma-informed practitioner who brings a calm, attuned presence to her work. Her counselling style is relational and deeply respectful of each person’s lived experience. She creates a highly supportive therapeutic space where clients can slow down, explore their concerns, and reconnect with themselves at their own pace. Cecilia works with the whole person, supporting clients to build resilience, understand underlying patterns, and create meaningful, sustainable change. Clients often describe feeling deeply understood, supported, and more empowered to navigate life’s challenges. Cecilia’s ability to integrate depth-oriented exploration with practical, real‑world strategies is a hallmark of her practice and sets her apart in the field.

Each session with Cecilia is tailored to meet the client’s individual needs. She draws on an integrated, person‑centred approach informed by Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Process‑Oriented Psychology, Trauma Counselling, Mindfulness‑Based Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Cecilia believes counselling can be a restorative and transformative experience, and enjoys supporting her clients as they cultivate greater clarity, connection, resilience, and wellbeing.
