Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Tina integrates several established approaches into online work to match each person's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and helps people address feelings of abandonment, trust issues, and attachment-related patterns in relationships. This approach can be useful for those who want to understand how past bonds influence present reactions and connections.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. It emphasises active listening, empathy and supporting a person’s own capacity for growth, making it a good fit for people seeking a collaborative, strengths-based way to build confidence and self-understanding.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that contribute to anxiety, low mood or stress. It is often used to develop concrete coping strategies and to practice new ways of responding to daily challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Tina works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best based on their goals, preferences and life circumstances. She tailors methods and adjusts over time as needs change.

Online therapy with Tina can take place by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options help make therapy more accessible for people who travel, have busy days, or prefer communicating remotely, while still allowing meaningful therapeutic work with registered professionals and therapists.
