About Tina
Tina Elliston is a counsellor and psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She holds the NCPS credential and works with individuals on issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, parenting concerns, relationship and intimacy difficulties, bipolar and ADHD. She also supports people facing sleep problems, anger, self-esteem struggles and career stress.
Tina uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Client-Centred approaches and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people name and work with strong emotions. She also draws on mindfulness and narrative techniques when helpful. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, manageable steps rather than lengthy programmes.
In practical terms Tina offers a mix of conversational work and structured tasks. She suggests worksheets or short readings between sessions and reviews these together to build everyday coping skills. This approach is aimed at helping people make steady changes rather than sudden shifts.
Her background in nursing and midwifery informs work with pregnancy, fertility difficulties, baby loss and birth trauma. She has additional study in areas such as ADHD, autism, attachment theory, bereavement and perinatal mental health. This experience shapes how she talks about health anxieties and long-term illness concerns.
Tina has a history of supporting women with reproductive and menopausal issues alongside relationship and parenting challenges. She also works with couples on communication and reconnection when that is requested. The practice emphasises paced progress and practical tools to manage everyday life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Tina commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and work with strong emotions that affect relationships and connection. EFT is focused on noticing emotional patterns and the ways they shape interactions and personal distress.She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which foregrounds the person's own perspective and aims to make sessions driven by what the client needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for coping and problem solving.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and day-to-day context and then suggest ways of working together. That plan can change as progress is made and needs shift.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and medical appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins or telephone sessions when less bandwidth or a quieter setup is needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and mindfulness practices so they work in remote sessions rather than waiting for face-to-face meetings.
