Tineke Zwinkels, BACP

Tineke Zwinkels welcomes people who are feeling stuck, anxious, overwhelmed or low. She aims to make the first step easier by offering calm, non-judgemental space where worries can be talked through. Conversations focus on what matters most to each person and on simple, practical ways forward.

She helps people notice how events affect their feelings, thoughts and choices. That understanding is used to find new ways of coping and responding. Sessions often look at self-esteem, motivation and confidence alongside practical strategies for stress and anxiety.

Tineke draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address issues such as trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, addictions and workplace strain. She also supports people dealing with attachments, codependency, control issues, guilt and shame, and persistent loneliness.

Work together is collaborative and paced to suit each person. Tineke encourages small, achievable steps that build a stronger sense of self-worth and safety over time. She aims for outcomes people can use in everyday life.

Tineke holds BACP accreditation, which signals recognised professional membership in the UK. She has four years of practice experience and works in English. International clients can be considered; please confirm session options before booking.

How evidence-based methods translate to online therapy

Many people find clear techniques helpful when feeling anxious or overwhelmed. Cognitive approaches focus on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with small, practical experiments to reduce worry and panic. Trauma-informed methods help people make sense of distressing experiences and learn grounding skills to manage strong emotions and flashbacks.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs and preferences, and will adjust the plan as understanding grows.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier fitting of sessions into a busy day and less travel time. If you are planning to work online, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Many people value the ability to schedule shorter check-ins or longer therapy slots to suit work, study or family routines.
