Tina Elliston

Tina Elliston, NCPS, is a counsellor and life coach who focuses on practical, paced support. She aims to keep client numbers low so she can offer consistent attention. Her approach suits people wanting clear goals and straightforward tools for day-to-day challenges.

Tina draws on client-centred ways of working to listen first, and then use approaches such as mindfulness and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice what keeps them stuck. Sessions can include short activities, worksheets and gentle check-ins between meetings. Progress is paced to each person and can be done in small steps.

This history underpins work around grief, baby loss, birth trauma and other health anxieties. She also helps people with relationship and communication issues.

Tina lists areas such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, ADHD and bipolar among her focus areas, alongside parenting and intimacy-related concerns. She also works with adoption and foster-care matters, attachment issues and caring or chronic illness stresses. Practical coping strategies and skills are a recurring theme in her work.

How Tina's approaches translate to online therapy

Tina often combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. Client-centred work focuses on understanding a person's priorities and building a trusting, collaborative relationship. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at how thoughts and behaviours interact and offer practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness practice helps people notice their experience in the moment and develop simple coping skills for stress and strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to what matters to the person, discuss goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted over time so they feel useful and manageable.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which options are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and caring responsibilities, reduce travel time and allow people to use brief check-ins or full sessions depending on what they need. These practical benefits help people keep therapy going while handling everyday demands.
