About Tina
Tina Elliston is a counsellor and psychotherapist who focuses on practical support for stress and anxiety. She works one to one with people to set goals and build coping skills that fit their life. Tina keeps caseloads small so she can give steady attention to each person.
Her background includes nursing and midwifery, and she draws on that experience when people raise health, fertility or pregnancy concerns. She has a National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society credential, NCPS, and she combines clinical counselling with life coaching when appropriate.
Background and approach
In sessions she uses straightforward tools such as mindfulness, cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused exercises. Conversations are paced to suit the client and work can be done in small steps. She often suggests worksheets or short reading between sessions and reviews progress together.
Tina also supports people through grief, bereavement and baby loss, and she has additional study in areas such as ADHD, autism, attachment and perinatal mental health. That background informs how she listens and the practical suggestions she offers. She has five years of counselling experience and works with issues including depression, sleep problems, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem and career stress.
Sessions can include planning, skills practice and checking in on small changes so clients can move forward at a steady pace.
Practical therapy approaches that work online
Tina commonly uses client-centred counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness in her online work. Client-centred counselling centres on the person's pace and priorities and helps people feel heard while they decide next steps. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviours to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness offers simple attention practices to reduce stress and improve sleep and day-to-day focus.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Tina will discuss goals and preferences and try methods together to see what fits best. That collaborative process means plans can be adjusted as clients learn what helps them most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation and screen shared worksheets. Phone sessions are useful for low-bandwidth situations or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Messaging or chat can support brief check-ins, homework and ongoing encouragement between sessions, adding flexibility for work or family schedules.
