About Tina
Tina Dale is a counsellor who blends practical therapy with a warm, down-to-earth style. She focuses on anxiety, stress, relationship strain, grief and a range of other life challenges. Tina holds NCPS and draws on several well-known approaches to help people make changes.
She aims to make sessions straightforward and useful. Conversations centre on what is happening now and what the client wants to change. Tina helps people spot patterns, test different coping skills, and try new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Background and approach
Her work covers many concerns including trauma and abuse, depression, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, low self-esteem, anger, career worries and parenting stress. She also supports people dealing with identity and intimacy-related issues and long-term health or caregiving strains. Tina pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes when they come up.
Tina uses approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work and elements from dialectical and client-centred therapy. She adapts the mix to fit each person rather than using a fixed formula. The aim is steady progress through small, manageable steps.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. People who come wanting clearer thinking, better emotion management or improved relationships will find practical tools and space to reflect. Tina works from the United Kingdom and holds NCPS as her listed credential.
Therapeutic approaches and online delivery
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then act in ways that match their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current connections and helps people build safer ways of relating.Choosing the best approach is usually a joint process. The counsellor will work with each person to weigh up goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they try approaches for a trial period and adjust the mix based on what feels most useful.
Online therapy offers a range of ways to connect that fit different lives. Video calls suit in-depth sessions when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short updates, written reflections or when sitting in front of a screen is difficult. These options make regular work on anxiety, relationships and coping skills easier to fit into a busy week.
