About Tina
Tina Elliston is a counsellor and psychotherapist with NCPS registration and five years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people on stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, bipolar, ADHD, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career matters, depression and coping with life changes.
Tina uses a practical mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centred methods, mindfulness and solution-focused ideas in sessions. She helps people set clear goals, try small steps and build skills they can use between meetings. Worksheets, short exercises and gentle check-ins are part of her routine to support progress.
Her background in nursing and midwifery shapes how she supports women with fertility, pregnancy and baby loss matters. That experience also informs work with birth trauma, perinatal concerns and related relationship strain. She draws on bereavement practice when people need help processing loss.
Tina has additional diplomas covering ADHD, autism, attachment theory, bereavement, bipolar and borderline personality related topics, couples counselling, relationship psychology, inner child work, life coaching, mindfulness and narcissism. She describes practical coaching and counselling as part of her offer and can work in bite-sized pace according to what a person needs.
She commonly helps people with adoption and foster care questions, ageing and geriatric issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress, body image and communication problems. International clients are accepted and sessions are offered in English. To begin, people use the site matching steps to book a first appointment.
How CBT, client-centred and EFT approaches work online
In online sessions Tina draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of responding. CBT offers concrete exercises and short homework tasks to practise between meetings. She also uses client-centred approaches which focus on listening, reflecting and helping people set their own goals. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) elements are used when relationship feelings and patterns are a central concern, helping people name emotions and try new ways of connecting.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tina will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what they want to achieve. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made. This keeps sessions practical and collaborative rather than fixed from the start.
The biography does not list specific online session types, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example it can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins and suit quieter surroundings or a break at work. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online sessions to combine structured CBT exercises with conversational client-centred support, making it possible to practise skills between appointments.
