About Tina

Tina Dale brings a compassionate, creative approach to counselling. She draws on a mix of practical therapies to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected. Tina makes space for worries about relationships, grief, trauma and the everyday pressure of life. Her work often focuses on understanding what sits underneath difficult feelings. That can mean looking at past attachment experiences, current stressors, or patterns that repeat in relationships. Sessions aim to help people untangle those threads and find doable ways to cope. Tina uses plain talk and active listening to help people name what matters to them. She blends evidence-based skills with gentle reflection so clients can try new ways of responding to pain or conflict. Practical tools for managing anxiety, anger and low mood are offered alongside deeper work on meaning and values. With four years of experience and an NCPS credential, she supports people through bereavement, trauma, addiction concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, and career or life transitions. She also addresses parenting strain, caregiver stress and issues linked to neurodiversity and attachment. Tina works in English from the United Kingdom and does not accept international clients. If someone wants to begin, the usual first step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a session that fits their schedule.

How Tina uses therapy approaches online

Tina commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters most, then taking small actions that match those values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship experiences to understand current patterns and to help build safer ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is something Tina will do together with each person. She discusses goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped in the past, then suggests ways of working that fit the person's needs. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping therapy consistent during life changes. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to attend regular appointments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy can fit around work and family commitments.
