About Tina

Tina Dale is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and bereavement. She also helps with mood concerns and practical problems such as sleep, eating and career pressures.

She focuses on identifying what keeps difficult patterns going. That might mean looking at strong emotions, repeated relationship responses, or memories from earlier life. Sessions use clear conversation and practical steps so people can start to feel different in everyday situations.

Tina draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotions and attachment, and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values. She also uses Client-Centred ideas and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques when they fit the issue. These methods are used to help with feelings, behaviour and how people relate to others.

People contact her about a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including addiction, ADHD, grief, intimacy issues and carer stress. She also addresses topics such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, blended family issues and body image. These are spoken about plainly and directly in sessions.

New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions run on a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are offered in English in the United Kingdom.

How her approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with strong emotions and attachment patterns in relationships. It helps people name difficult feelings and notice how those feelings affect interactions and closeness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings while taking action that aligns with personal values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current responses and helps people develop different ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will choose which methods to use. That collaborative decision is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan can change if it makes sense for you.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel, or have shorter check-ins when time is limited. It also allows focus on emotions and behaviour in everyday contexts, using conversations and practical exercises that translate to daily life. Registered or accredited professionals guide the process and help match approach to problem and preference.
