Tina Elliston, NCPS

Tina Elliston is a counsellor and psychotherapist who blends counselling, coaching and therapy to meet individual needs. She works at a gentle pace and helps people set their own goals. Tina keeps caseloads small so she can focus on each person who comes to her.

She uses a mix of approaches including mindfulness, cognitive behavioural techniques and client-centred therapy. Sessions often include practical tasks such as worksheets and reading between meetings to build coping skills. Tina encourages progress in small steps and checks in to offer feedback and support.

Tina draws on five years of experience alongside a nursing and midwifery background. That background informs her work with fertility, pregnancy loss, birth trauma and related health anxieties. She also has diplomas in related topics including ADHD, autism and attachment theory.

Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem and career concerns. Additional focuses include adoption and foster care, ageing and geriatric issues, chronic illness and caregiving stress, body image, and divorce and separation.

Tina works collaboratively to create personalised plans. She supports people through change with practical coping tools and conversational space to process difficult feelings. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Tina uses client-centred methods that focus on the person and their goals. This approach means conversations are shaped by what matters to the client, with the therapist listening and reflecting to help people clarify next steps. It suits concerns such as stress, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties.

Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes. These practical steps often include simple exercises and worksheets that can be worked on between sessions to manage anxiety, mood or sleep problems.

Emotionally-focused work helps people understand and name strong feelings and how those feelings affect relationships. It can be helpful when intimacy, communication or attachment issues are a central concern.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that seem likely to help and adapt as therapy progresses. Clients and the therapist choose what fits best with personal goals, pace and preferences.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about current session options and scheduling when you begin the matching process.
