About Tina

Tina Dale is a counsellor who blends empathy with practical tools to help people untangle difficult feelings. She holds NCPS and has four years of experience working with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship struggles. Tina writes simply and listens closely to what matters to each person.

Her starting point is to map what feels most urgent and what sits underneath it. She helps people spot patterns, for example in attachment, codependency or communication, and then tries out small changes to test what helps. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Tina uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. That can mean learning new ways to notice thoughts with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, exploring relationship patterns through Attachment-Based methods, or using practical skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She adapts tools to everyday life rather than relying on jargon.

People come for many reasons, including trauma, bereavement, addictions, parenting stress, body image or career worries. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain, adoption and foster care issues, and challenges linked to autism and ADHD. Tina aims to make progress feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

If someone decides to start, she works step by step to set goals and track small changes. The focus is on rebuilding connection, improving coping and finding clearer direction in life.

How therapeutic approaches shape online counselling

Tina draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression and for people who want clearer direction in life.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in relationships and how early connections affect the present. This approach can help with codependency, intimacy problems and feeling disconnected from others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tina will talk through goals and preferences, and they will choose techniques that fit the person’s needs. The plan can change as progress is made, and sessions are paced to what feels manageable.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use tools and worksheets between sessions, so learning continues outside the meeting time.
