How her approaches translate to online work
Tina uses attachment-based ideas to notice how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when people struggle with trust, feeling abandoned or repeating relationship patterns. It looks at practical ways to change those patterns in daily life.She also uses client-centred counselling, which places the person’s agenda at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and change small habits that keep problems going.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tina will work together with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. That means trying things, adjusting what doesn’t help and building on what does in a collaborative way.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to speak from their own routine. Ask about the available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire.
