About Tina
Tina Hurley is a counsellor with ten years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and the effects of trauma and abuse. Tina aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for the strengths someone already has.
How Tina works
Sessions focus on practical ways to manage symptoms and build confidence, while also making space to process grief and past hurts. Tina uses a mix of approaches to match what an individual needs. She draws on client-centred talking, attachment-focused thinking about relationships, and cognitive methods that help change unhelpful patterns.
Mindfulness and short-term, goal-focused techniques are used when they suit the person. She has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including addictions, sleep problems, parenting strain, career stress and eating or body image worries. Tina also works with issues such as ADHD, chronic illness, caregiver stress and the impact of separation or divorce.
Sessions are delivered in ways that fit modern life, including video, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Tina aims to help people make small, steady changes and to develop tools they can use outside sessions.

How Tina's approaches work online
Tina uses client-centred work to focus on what matters most to the person. That approach means listening closely and following the client's pace, helping them feel understood and respected. Attachment-based work looks at how past and present relationships influence feelings and behaviour, which can help with relationship worries and trust issues.Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. These techniques are practical and often include short exercises to try between sessions to build new habits and reduce distress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Tina will work with the client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions come in several formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - allowing therapy to fit around work, family life and other commitments. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make it easier to keep therapy consistent and manageable.
