About Tina
Counsellor and BACP member, Tina Hurley has ten years' experience working with people in the United Kingdom on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and domestic abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem and motivation.
Tina works from the view that the person knows their own story best. She listens to what has been happening and helps people notice their strengths so they can make changes. Sessions are practical and focused on what the client wants to address next.
Her background includes supporting people after bereavement and helping those coping with the longer term effects of trauma. She also works with issues such as addiction, relationship and family strain, eating and sleeping problems, and work-related stress and compassion fatigue.
Tina uses a mix of approaches. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships, client-centred ways of working to keep the conversation person-led, and cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness and solution-focused methods are available to help with everyday coping and short-term goals.
Sessions aim to be straightforward. Tina will help set clear aims, review progress, and adapt the approach as things change. People wanting to try counselling are asked to use the directory's matching tools and to arrange a first appointment once they have completed a short questionnaire.
How her approaches fit with online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current behaviour. It helps when relational patterns, trust or attachment issues are a concern. Client-centred therapy is person-led; the counsellor listens, reflects and follows the client’s priorities. It suits people who want a space to explore feelings at their own pace. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and testing small changes. It can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tina will discuss aims and preferences in early sessions and agree which methods to use. She adapts the mix of approaches as progress is reviewed so the work stays practical and relevant to the client’s goals.
The biography does not specify session formats here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, or have shorter check-ins by phone when that suits. Registered or accredited professionals often offer a range of ways to meet; check the therapist's page or the matching questionnaire for the exact formats available.
