About Tina

Tina Dale is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns and a wide range of other issues listed in her profile. Sessions are aimed at helping people untangle what is causing pain and find clearer ways to cope.

Her approach weaves together Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work and Client-Centred methods. That means she pays attention to what matters to each person, looks at how early relationships affect present patterns, and uses practical strategies to change unhelpful habits. Conversations are straightforward and focused on everyday life rather than clinical jargon.

Tina also uses elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when helpful. These provide tools for managing overwhelming emotions, reducing anxiety, and improving sleep and eating patterns. She applies techniques step by step so people can practise them between sessions.

She has particular experience helping with parenting strain, family-related concerns, attachment difficulties, addiction-related issues, and compassion fatigue. Other areas she lists include bereavement, trauma, intimacy-related difficulties, body image and neurodiversity-related topics such as autism and ADHD.

People who come for sessions work on clear, manageable goals such as improving communication, coping with loss, reducing anxiety, or rebuilding trust after past hurt. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first meeting.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Tina draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside Client-Centred methods. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and refocus on values and small actions that matter. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people build different ways of relating.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with the client and will adapt strategies as the work progresses. This is a collaborative process where practical exercises and reflection are balanced according to what helps most.

The practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions into a busy week and making it easier to keep regular appointments. If you want to proceed, confirm the session formats available before booking and follow the site steps to complete the matching questionnaire and arrange the first meeting. Registered or accredited professionals can then help you choose the approach that suits your situation and daily life.
