Tina Jennings, NCPS

Tina Jennings is a counsellor who draws on a person-centred way of working while using cognitive behavioural techniques and brief solution-focused tools. She holds NCPS accreditation and a BSc in Therapeutic Counselling, plus an advanced diploma in the same field. Tina brings about ten years of counselling experience and a straightforward, empathetic style to sessions.

She aims to help people manage immediate problems in everyday language. Conversations tend to focus on identifying practical steps, shifting unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. Tina describes herself as non-judgemental and open minded, and she emphasises compassion and hope as part of the process.

Tina has worked in pastoral and spiritual care within the NHS and has experience supporting low mood, depression, anxiety, grief and loss. She has also had roles with Mind and a digital mental health organisation, where she helped clients facing suicidal thoughts to find ways forward. Earlier life experience includes service in the Army, which informs her understanding of trauma and its longer-term effects.

Her areas of interest include stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, addictions, bipolar, ADHD and compassion fatigue, alongside attachment and family of origin issues. She also supports work around separation, communication problems, codependency and eating-related difficulties.

Tina offers counselling in English and works with people based in the United Kingdom. To begin, clients follow a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Tina’s approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasises understanding patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current feelings. This approach can help when relationship insecurities, abandonment fears or attachment issues affect daily life. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work, offering empathy, acceptance and space to make sense of difficult feelings; it suits issues like low mood, grief and self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to reduce unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, stress and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits the person rather than imposing a single model.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats Tina currently offers before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when life is hectic. They can also make it simpler to work through emotionally charged topics from a familiar setting while using techniques such as thought records, pacing exercises and grounding strategies adapted for remote sessions.
