About Tina
Tina Dale offers a practical, person-focused approach to counselling. She blends compassionate listening with clear techniques to help people manage anxiety, grief, relationship strain, trauma, and life transitions. Tina’s style aims to make therapy feel manageable and relevant for everyday life.
She spends time helping clients name their feelings and spot patterns that cause distress. Sessions commonly include simple, evidence-based tools to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and address sleep or eating concerns.
How Tina works
Tina also works on communication and intimacy-related issues to help people reconnect with others. Her background includes four years of practice and the NCPS credential, which she uses alongside flexible methods to tailor work to each person. Tina draws on approaches such as acceptance and commitment techniques and cognitive methods to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build values-based action.
Those experiencing trauma or abuse can expect careful pacing and attention to safety while addressing painful memories and attachments. She also supports people facing career questions, addiction concerns, ADHD-related struggles, and long-term illness or caregiving stress. Tina aims to make each session focused and practical.
Together with clients she sets clear goals and reviews progress from week to week. The emphasis is on small, achievable steps that lead to steadier mood, better coping and clearer direction. To begin, Tina asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that suit their timetable.
This helps ensure the work starts in a way that feels right for the individual.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Tina commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tina collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques as the work progresses so sessions remain relevant and practical for the individual.
Online therapy with Tina is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement or low lighting is needed. Live chat or messaging can be useful for short check-ins, brief coaching-style support, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health limitations while keeping a steady course of support.
