About Ina
Ina Thomson is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and panic attacks. She supports those struggling with low self-esteem, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and coping with life changes. Ina also works with issues such as anger, eating difficulties, compassion fatigue and feelings of isolation.
Ina listens with sensitivity and respect. She adapts conversations to each person, offering either a calm space to talk or a more structured plan with practical tools.
Background and approach
Sessions are offered in English and German for people in the United Kingdom. Her background blends a humanistic outlook with evidence-informed techniques. She focuses on spotting triggers and linking strong reactions to past overwhelming experiences.
That helps people understand how their nervous system responds to stress and trauma. Ina uses methods that challenge unhelpful thoughts and patterns while also teaching ways to regulate the nervous system. This mix aims to reduce panic symptoms, ease anxiety and improve day-to-day coping.
She has three years of professional experience as a therapist and holds membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She often works with highly sensitive people and those seeking clearer boundaries and better communication. Sessions can be conversational or goal-focused, depending on what a person needs.
The emphasis is on practical steps and building skills that fit everyday life.
How her approaches work online
Ina draws on a humanistic approach that emphasises each person's strengths and capacity to change. This approach focuses on listening, understanding life experience and helping people reconnect with their own resources to make different choices.She also uses techniques that challenge unhelpful thoughts and patterns, commonly known as cognitive behavioural strategies. These help people spot negative thinking, test it against reality and try out new behaviours to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms.
Ina integrates nervous system regulation work into sessions to help people recognise triggers and learn calming responses. This kind of work can reduce intense reactions and improve everyday coping after stressful or traumatic events.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches in sessions and adjust what they do based on what helps most. Clients and therapist decide together which methods feel most useful for symptoms and life goals.
Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility. Video calls let you keep non-verbal contact and work with exercises together. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit around work. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflections or replacing a session when talking is difficult. Many people find a mix of formats helps maintain momentum between appointments.
