About Tina
Counsellor Tina Elliston is a NCPS-registered practitioner with five years' experience. She works with people on stress, anxiety, grief, parenting and relationship and intimacy-related issues, as well as mood conditions such as bipolar and depression. Sessions are delivered in English and she accepts international clients.
Tina uses accessible counselling skills alongside mindfulness, cognitive behavioural approaches and solution-focused work. She invites people to set their own goals and to work at a pace that feels manageable, often in short, focused steps. Worksheets and brief reading may be suggested between sessions to build coping skills and awareness.
Her background includes nursing and midwifery, and she has long experience supporting women through fertility problems, pregnancy loss and birth trauma. That clinical background informs how she talks about physical health, menopausal symptoms and related emotional impacts.
Tina also has diplomas in topics such as ADHD, autism, attachment theory, bereavement, bipolar and couples counselling, and she combines those perspectives when relevant. She offers practical help with communication, relationship difficulties and managing life changes.
Sessions are described as flexible and paced to the individual. People are invited to suggest times if standard slots do not fit. To begin, clients follow the site's matching steps and arrange a first session after completing a short questionnaire.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person and their priorities. The counsellor listens without directing and helps the client decide what to work on and when. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that maintain problems and uses practical exercises and worksheets to change them. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) centres on patterns in relationships and helps people notice and shift how they respond to each other.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tina will talk it through with the client, discuss goals and suggest which methods might suit those aims. That choice is revisited as the work progresses so the plan can change if needed.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins at a lunch break, or letting someone join without being on camera. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals often use worksheets and between-session tasks in remote work in the same way they do in person, so people still get practical tools to use between meetings.
