About Tina

Tina Hurley is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and domestic abuse, grief and bereavement, self-esteem, motivation and related concerns. Tina works from a perspective that sees the person as the expert in their own life and builds on existing strengths.

Tina uses straightforward conversation and practical techniques. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns. Cognitive behavioural methods are used to identify thought and behaviour cycles that keep problems going. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are offered to help people manage difficult moments and set realistic goals.

Sessions are intended to be collaborative. Tina aims to help people notice what works, try small changes and track progress. She offers clear explanations of methods and keeps plans simple and achievable. This approach supports people who need practical steps as well as those wanting to understand underlying patterns.

Tina has worked with many common life challenges, including addiction, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, career stress and compassion fatigue. She also attends to more specific areas such as attachment issues, autism and blended family concerns. Her practice addresses both immediate coping needs and longer-term emotional patterns.

People who prefer a conversational, pragmatic style may find this approach suits them. Tina encourages people to name goals, test changes between sessions and review what helps. The focus is on steady forward progress rather than quick fixes.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds influence current reactions. Online sessions using this approach focus on recognising these patterns and trying new ways of relating to others and oneself.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours. In remote sessions CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them and practising behavioural experiments between appointments to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Mindfulness offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These techniques can help with stress, sleep difficulties and managing strong emotions, and are practised in short exercises during sessions and at home.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Plans are reviewed and adapted as progress is assessed so the approach stays relevant.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote counselling helps fit therapy around work and family life, reduces travel time and allows for shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist when scheduling so sessions fit into everyday routines.
