How Tina works
The pace is set by the person in therapy and there are no fixed deadlines. Her background in nursing and midwifery informs work with fertility, pregnancy and birth-related difficulties. That experience also shapes support for grief and bereavement and for people processing loss or traumatic birth events.
Practical communication strategies and gentle pacing are offered alongside emotional processing. Tina helps people address stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems and low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder and compassion fatigue.
Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, ageing issues, attachment concerns and long-term illness. Sessions take different formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Tina works with people in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients, adapting the approach to each person’s needs and goals.

How Tina’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own goals and priorities. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person decide what to work on and at what pace. This approach suits people who want collaboration and a tailored plan.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and short homework tasks to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying and shifting emotional patterns that get in the way of close relationships. It can be useful when people want to improve communication and emotional connection with a partner or to work on intimacy-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options and adapt methods to fit the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that can change over time as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging can fit around busy days. These options aim to give practical flexibility so therapy can fit into everyday life.
