About Tina

Tina Hurley is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience. She works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, trauma and domestic abuse, grief and loss, and concerns around self-esteem and motivation. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

Tina sees the person first and uses straightforward conversation to understand what is causing distress. She listens for what already works for someone and builds on those strengths. Her way of working mixes practical steps with reflective discussion so people notice small changes quickly.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to practise different responses. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas are used to help people find breathing space and set achievable goals.

Tina is used to helping people cope with bereavement, domestic abuse, and long-term anxiety. She also supports those living with ADHD, body image concerns, chronic illness, and career or relationship strain. Her work often covers overlapping issues such as sleep problems, addictions, and communication difficulties.

Sessions tend to focus on clear aims and simple tools to try between meetings. Tina encourages honest feedback about what helps and what does not. Practical planning is combined with time to talk through difficult memories and feelings.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Tina uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques in her work. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships affect feelings and patterns of relating. It helps when anxiety or trust issues are linked to how people connect with others. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing thinking patterns and testing them with actions. CBT is useful for worrying, low mood, and for practising different responses to social situations.

Finding the best approach is part of the process and it is something to decide together. The therapist will help clarify goals, try an approach for a few sessions, and adjust methods based on what the client prefers and what helps most. That collaborative checking-in helps keep work practical and relevant.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone begin therapy from a location that suits their day and energy levels. Registered or accredited professionals can guide which style and session length will best match a person's needs.
