About Tina

Tina Dale is a counsellor who uses a compassionate, creative style to help people through difficult times. She combines straightforward talk with practical steps so people can feel less stuck and more able to move forward.

Tina focuses on the emotional impact of loss, trauma and relationship strain. She also supports people coping with anxiety, depression, parenting stress, addiction concerns and questions about identity and purpose. Adoption and foster care matters are an additional focus when they relate to someone’s emotional wellbeing.

In sessions she aims to uncover the roots of a problem - whether from past experiences or current pressures - and then try practical ways to make day-to-day life easier. Her work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy, adapted to each person’s needs.

Tina uses plain language and a steady pace to help people feel understood. She encourages small, realistic steps that build confidence over time. Her style is collaborative so people help shape their goals and the route to reach them.

With four years of clinical experience and the NCPS credential, she draws on a mix of evidence-informed tools and human connection. Sessions are conducted in English and take place in the United Kingdom. If you want a calm space to talk and practical ways forward, she can help you explore options and plan next steps.

How therapeutic approaches work online and in practice

Tina draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, and then choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and trust, helping people rebuild healthier ways of relating and resolving old wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tina will discuss options with each person and choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. The process is collaborative so the client helps decide what feels most useful and what to try next.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives - they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or let someone join without needing to be on camera for the whole time. Many people find remote appointments helpful for keeping continuity of care and practicing skills between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can explain which format will best support your needs during the initial check-in.
