About Ina
Ina Thomson is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, parenting strain and questions about life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and German.
Ina uses a humanistic framework that emphasises people’s capacity for change. She mixes conversational listening with practical tools. Some clients prefer an open listening space. Others work to set goals and practise techniques to reduce symptoms of stress and anxiety.
Her approach includes challenging unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviour patterns, commonly known as cognitive behavioural techniques. She also draws on work with trauma and nervous-system regulation to help people understand triggers and strong reactions. This can be useful when past experiences still affect day-to-day life.
Ina often helps people spot patterns that keep them stuck, such as control issues, isolation or repeated communication problems. She also supports those dealing with panic attacks, intimacy-related worries, eating concerns and compassion fatigue. Conversations aim to be clear and practical, with everyday steps to try between sessions.
Her background includes training and practical experience in trauma-related work and with highly sensitive people. Sessions combine understanding how past events shaped reactions with down-to-earth tools for managing feelings and behaviour.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Ina uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice and challenge unhelpful thoughts, and to practise new behaviour patterns that reduce anxiety and improve mood. This approach is problem-focused and often involves small tasks to try between sessions.She also works with nervous-system regulation and trauma-informed ideas to help people recognise physical triggers and high-reactivity. That work explains why certain situations provoke strong reactions and offers calming skills and pacing strategies to reduce overwhelming responses.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Ina will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, then adapt the style of work together. Clients may begin with a listening-focused session and shift to structured tools if that suits their goals. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals including counsellors often find these practical benefits help maintain momentum between appointments.
