About Tina
Tina Cooney is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She focuses on parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and anger. Tina aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where parents can speak openly about what is hard and what they hope to change.
Tina uses an integrative style, drawing on several practical methods to meet each person’s needs. She blends cognitive behavioural techniques with mindfulness and acceptance strategies to help people manage difficult thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
Attachment-based ideas also inform her work when relationships and early patterns are part of the concern. Tina describes herself as trauma informed and brings that sensitivity into conversations about abuse, dissociation, domestic violence and separation. She also supports people facing issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, blended family stress and caregiver burden.
These topics are approached with care and small, practical steps rather than quick fixes. Sessions are offered mainly online by video call or phone, with messaging available in defined 50 minute slots through the platform. Tina will explain how each format works and help people choose what fits their life and schedule.
She holds BACP accreditation, and combines that professional framework with hands-on tools like meditation and CBT exercises. The focus is practical support for parents who want clearer routines, calmer reacting, and better communication in family life.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy involves noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, stress and making steady changes in parenting behaviour. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with small behavioural experiments. CBT is useful for reducing anxiety, improving communication and building new routines at home.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they adapt techniques from different models so the work fits the person and their family life rather than forcing a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow visual connection for role play or observing interactions. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or work around noisy bandwidth. Messaging and live chat suit brief updates, written reflections or people who prefer typing. These options make therapy more flexible around work, childcare and daily routines.
