About Tina

Tina Dale is a counsellor who blends practical therapy with a warm, human approach. She uses a mix of talking, reflection and hands-on strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief and relationship strain. Tina describes her way of working as collaborative and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on small steps that make a real difference.

She pays attention to how past experiences affect current feelings. That can include trauma from childhood or adulthood, attachment wounds, or difficulties in close relationships. Sessions often focus on naming what is happening, tracking patterns, and trying small experiments to change daily habits and responses.

Tina draws on methods such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-based ideas. These approaches are used to help with low mood, panic and rumination, sleeping and eating concerns, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with complex stresses like caregiving, chronic illness, addiction, and compassion fatigue.

Her practice includes work around career pressures, identity and LGBT matters, ADHD and emotional regulation, and coping with life changes such as bereavement or adoption-related issues. Tina aims to make sessions practical so people can test new ways of responding between meetings.

With four years of experience and NCPS on her record, she works from the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English. People who want to begin are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the available times.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Tina uses approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy and attachment-based ideas in a straightforward way. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on what matters most to them, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Attachment-based work looks at early bonds and how they affect current relationships, helping people understand patterns of closeness and distance.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together with the counsellor. She will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, then suggest ways of working that match the person’s needs. That collaborative decision can include trying different techniques over a few sessions to see what fits best.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, remove travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be difficult. It can also let people use time between commitments more effectively, for example by taking a lunchtime session or a shorter call when attention or bandwidth needs are limited.
