About Tina
Tina Hurley is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years of practice. She holds a BACP accreditation and has focused much of her work on stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and low self-esteem. Tina writes plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.
Her approach begins by listening to each person’s story. She treats clients as the experts on their lives and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and down to earth, with space to talk about feelings and find small, achievable changes. Tina uses a mix of talking techniques that fit the person in front of her. She draws on attachment ideas to understand relationship patterns and uses cognitive behavioural tools to spot unhelpful thinking.
Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies help people manage day-to-day stress and plan next steps. People come to Tina for a wide range of concerns, including depression, addictions, LGBT issues, parenting strain, sleep problems and career stress. She also supports those dealing with bereavement, chronic illness, body image and communication difficulties.
Her work includes helping with ADHD, attachment issues and blended family challenges. Tina aims to create a calm, respectful space where practical goals are set together. She helps clients break problems into manageable pieces and develop coping skills they can use between sessions.
The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How therapy approaches work online
Tina commonly blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural therapy to help people manage worrying thoughts and build coping skills. Client-centred therapy means the session follows the person’s pace and priorities, helping them feel heard and respected. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behaviour and testing small changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tina will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasise thinking tools, relational ideas from attachment work, mindfulness practice or solution-focused steps to reach practical goals.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people use facial expression and tone; phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a brief check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short updates, mood tracking and support between longer sessions. These options allow flexibility so therapy can continue across different routines and time zones.
