About Tina
Tina Elliston is a counsellor with the NCPS credential and five years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep problems, anger and self-esteem concerns. She also supports people dealing with career change, depression, compassion fatigue and life transitions. Sessions and goals are set with each person.
Tina usually blends client-centred counselling with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. She uses short exercises and worksheets to build coping skills and increase awareness. Sessions are paced to suit the individual, with practical tasks between meetings and regular check-ins on progress.
Her background in nursing and midwifery informs work with pregnancy, fertility difficulties, baby loss and birth trauma. She has experience supporting new parents and partners through the practical and emotional demands that follow childbirth. She also has training in bereavement and offers focused support for loss.
Tina has additional diplomas in ADHD, autism, attachment theory, bipolar and borderline personality disorder related topics, couples counselling, relationship psychology and mindfulness. She uses this knowledge to inform conversations rather than as labels for people.
She often works in bite-sized sessions when needed and supports clients who prefer a slower pace. Clients set goals and take an active role in planning. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Tina uses client-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy in her work. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and following the client's lead to clarify what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.She also draws on mindfulness approaches to help people notice strong emotions and physical responses without getting overwhelmed. Mindfulness practice can be used for anxiety, sleep problems and managing stress in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, try different techniques, and agree what fits the client's needs and preferences. This process is collaborative and can change over time as priorities shift.
Please confirm the current session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, childcare or medical appointments. They can also allow for shorter check-ins, easier access when travel is difficult, and the option to use audio rather than video when that suits someone better.
