Tina Elliston is a Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Life Coach based in the United Kingdom, holding the NCPS credential and with five years of professional experience. She maintains a small caseload to offer focused, personalised care and to build a clear understanding of each client’s needs and goals.

Her practice primarily draws on counselling skills alongside Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy, shaping practical plans that clients set and steer. Sessions progress at the client’s pace, broken into manageable steps without pressure or deadlines, while Tina provides gentle accountability through check-ins, worksheets and guided readings to support skill-building and forward movement.

Tina describes her style as warm and approachable, and she offers flexibility when arranging appointments, inviting clients to request suitable days or times if standard slots do not fit. Her background includes nursing and midwifery before qualifying in counselling, which informs her work with fertility difficulties, pregnancy, baby loss and birth trauma. She is an experienced bereavement counsellor and is currently completing Foundation for Infant Loss Practitioner Training and Fertility Specialist Training.

She works with a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, parenting, bipolar condition, ADHD, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career matters, depression, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and coaching needs, and she accepts international clients.

Approaches and Online Support for Personal Change

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience, offering a supportive, non-directive space where the therapist follows the client’s lead to build self-awareness and personal insight; it is helpful for issues like relationship challenges, self-esteem and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance techniques that can reduce rumination, improve emotional regulation and support coping with grief or chronic stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tina works with clients to explore their needs, goals and preferences and will adapt methods or combine techniques so the therapeutic plan fits each individual. This makes therapy a shared journey rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Online therapy with Tina is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from varied locations, accommodate parenting or work commitments, and continue care when attending in-person sessions is difficult.
