About Tina
Tina Hurley is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 10 years of professional experience in the UK. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and domestic abuse, grief and bereavement, low self-esteem and motivation. Tina also lists concerns such as relationship and family issues, addictions, sleep problems and parenting among her areas of practice.
Her approach puts the client's story at the centre. She uses gentle questioning and active listening to help people notice their strengths. Sessions focus on practical steps and small, manageable changes rather than complicated theory.
Tina draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns and on cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking. She also uses client-centred listening and solution-focused methods to set short-term goals. Mindfulness tools are available for managing stress and grounding after difficult events.
People contact her about a wide range of life changes such as divorce, blended family issues, career shifts, and chronic illness. She notes work with ADHD, attachment issues, autism and body image concerns among other focus areas. The tone is straightforward and practical rather than clinical.
Sessions encourage the development of coping strategies for everyday life. Tina helps people map small steps that fit into their routine. The work aims to make problems more manageable and to build on strengths already present.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape how people react and connect. It can help when trust, closeness or repeated relationship patterns are causing stress. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour that keep problems going.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. This means checking what helps, adjusting techniques, and setting short-term tasks to test new ways of coping.
Please confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting therapy around daily life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break or not needing to travel. Others prefer to use a session to practise mindfulness or CBT exercises with the therapist, which can be easier when both people are in a calm, quiet place. Online work can make it simpler to maintain continuity of care when routines change, and the therapist will aim to match the format to the client's schedule and needs.
