About Ina

BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience, Ina Thomson helps people with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, parenting strains and trauma and abuse. She also focuses on compassion fatigue, anger, coping with life changes, communication problems, control issues, isolation and panic attacks. Sessions are offered in English and German.

Ina works within a humanistic framework and uses a mix of practical techniques. She talks through what triggers strong reactions and links those reactions to past overwhelming events. She also challenges negative thoughts and behaviour patterns with cognitive approaches and pays attention to how the nervous system responds to stress.

Her style can be a steady listening presence or a more structured approach, depending on what someone needs. When helpful, she and the client set goals and use practical tools to reduce symptoms of stress and anxiety. She also spends time identifying triggers and learning ways to regulate strong emotional responses.

Ina has experience supporting highly sensitive people and those dealing with grief, loss and strained relationships. She describes work on motivation, confidence and self-love as part of day-to-day sessions. Her background includes practical training in trauma work and nervous system regulation.

Sessions are conducted in English and German. The booking process uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; confirm current session formats and scheduling details before you book.

How clinical approaches shape online sessions

Ina uses evidence-based techniques that focus on thought patterns and the body’s stress responses. Cognitive approaches involve noticing and gently challenging negative thoughts and behaviour patterns to reduce anxiety and improve confidence. Nervous system regulation work teaches simple practices to calm intense reactions and manage panic symptoms by recognising bodily signals and practising grounding or breathing exercises.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen, try different methods and agree with the client which ones feel most helpful for their goals, needs and preferences. This remains a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

The practical benefits of remote sessions depend on the session formats available; confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekly routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed and avoid travel time. It also makes it straightforward to arrange sessions in either English or German and to continue therapeutic work consistently during life changes.
