About Tineke
Tineke Zwinkels offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loss or low self-worth. She writes simply and kindly, helping clients understand how past events shape current reactions. Conversations aim to be open and non-judgemental so people can speak honestly about what matters to them.
Over four years of practice, Tineke helps people notice how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. She talks through what has happened and how it affects daily life, then works with each person to find new ways of coping. The focus is on building self-understanding, a stronger sense of worth, and small practical changes that fit into everyday life.
Common concerns she supports include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship worries, addictions and workplace problems. Additional focus areas include attachment difficulties, codependency, control issues, guilt and shame, loneliness, panic, phobias, self-harm and exploring life purpose.
Tineke approaches each person as an individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the client’s needs, with room to try different ways of working. She aims to help people feel more secure in themselves and more able to make choices that suit their life.
Her credential is BACP, which denotes a professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English, including to international clients.
How therapeutic approaches fit with online work
Evidence-based techniques focus on helping people notice patterns and try alternatives. One common approach focuses on understanding how thoughts and feelings influence actions, helping with anxiety, low mood and stress by teaching practical steps to change unhelpful cycles. Another approach pays attention to past relationships and attachment, helping people see how earlier experiences affect current trust, boundaries and codependency concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to each person's situation, goals and preferences and then suggest ways to proceed. This is a team effort - plans are adjusted as therapy moves forward so the method fits the person's needs.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, for example by removing travel time or allowing checks between commitments. Different online arrangements suit different people in different moments, so confirm the available session options before booking. The emphasis is on conversations that help people develop new coping skills and understanding, while keeping practicalities manageable.
