About Tina

Tina Dale is a counsellor (NCPS) with four years of clinical experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, depression and a wide range of related concerns including addiction, parenting strain and issues around self-esteem and identity.

She often helps clients who feel disconnected from friends or family and who find it hard to manage strong emotions. Sessions focus on understanding what is causing distress, and on practical ways to reduce its impact. Tina describes her work as collaborative; she listens, reflects, and offers tools clients can try between sessions.

Tina uses a mix of approaches depending on what someone needs. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take manageable steps. She also uses attachment-based perspectives to look at how early relationships continue to affect current patterns.

Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify thought patterns that make anxiety and low mood worse. Dialectical behaviour ideas help with emotion regulation and building practical coping skills. Client-centred methods guide the pace of work and keep the client's priorities central.

People come for help with many concerns from sleep and eating problems to work stress, ADHD-related challenges, grief and issues linked to adoption or attachment. Tina supports conversations about intimacy and boundaries, and about rebuilding connection after loss or hurt.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to someone and on taking small, values-based actions even when feelings are difficult. It can help with persistent anxiety, avoidance and uncertainty.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating that began in early life and how they affect current relationships and trust. This approach is useful when people want to understand why they repeat certain relational behaviours or struggle with closeness.

Tina sees choosing an approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then suggest which methods might help most. The plan can change as work unfolds so the approach fits the client rather than the other way around.

Confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life. They can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that helps with concentration or bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find remote work helps people access support when attending in person is difficult.
