About Tina

Tina Elliston is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with five years of practice. She holds the NCPS credential and offers individual sessions for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy issues, bipolar and ADHD concerns, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, depression and other life changes.

She uses simple, goal-focused methods in session. Clients set goals and work at a comfortable pace. Sessions may include worksheets, reading and short tasks between meetings to build coping skills and practical tools.

Tina brings a background in nursing and midwifery to her counselling. That experience informs her work with fertility difficulties, pregnancy, baby loss and birth trauma. She also has diplomas in topics including ADHD, autism, attachment theory, bereavement, bipolar disorder and life coaching.

Her way of working draws on Client-Centred methods, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness and Solution-Focused ideas. She often helps people break problems into smaller steps and develop awareness that supports change.

People who contact her often want help with parenting strain, relationship communication and the effects of grief or health worries. She can assist with blended family issues as one of several focus areas and supports clients to set practical goals and plans.

To begin, the reader is asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Payment is through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary by location.

Therapeutic approaches and remote work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says, helping them find their own solutions and decide on goals. It is useful when someone needs time to talk through feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses practical exercises and short tasks to change patterns that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, sleep and low mood.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different options and help the client decide what fits their needs and goals. That decision is made together and can be adjusted as sessions progress.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins between other commitments. Some formats also need less bandwidth or can be done with audio only, which may suit a shorter check-in or a quieter set-up. Registered or accredited professionals can help adapt exercises and worksheets for work by video or other agreed methods.
