About

About Tina

Tina Elliston is a counsellor and psychotherapist who uses a gentle, person-focused way of working. She keeps client numbers low so she can build a steady, practical relationship and help people set realistic goals. Her background in nursing and midwifery informs how she talks about health, pregnancy and loss with sensitivity.

She draws on client-centred work to prioritise each person’s priorities and pace. Cognitive behavioural techniques help with unhelpful thoughts and sleep problems.

Background and approach

Emotionally-focused approaches are used where relationships or intimacy are the main concerns. Sessions often include short exercises, worksheets and simple mindfulness practices. These are designed to build awareness and give tools people can use between sessions.

Tina likes to make plans in bite-sized steps so change feels manageable rather than overwhelming. Her experience spans five years in counselling and psychotherapy, alongside a nursing and midwifery background. That combination shapes her practical, compassionate style when people face fertility, baby loss, birth trauma, menopause or chronic health worries.

Tina works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, parenting and bereavement. She also supports people with ADHD, bipolar and attachment-related issues, and helps with relationship communication and intimacy difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged to suit different schedules.

People who choose to work with her can expect a steady, collaborative approach. Tina encourages small, achievable steps and regular check-ins to review progress and adapt the plan as needed.

Online support

How Tina’s approaches translate to online therapy

Tina uses client-centred work that puts the person’s concerns and pace first. This means sessions focus on what matters most to the individual, helping them set goals and decide how quickly to move. Cognitive behavioural therapy targets patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems like anxiety and sleep issues going, offering practical exercises and worksheets to use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practicalities, and together they will try methods that fit the client’s needs. Plans are reviewed regularly so the work can change as progress is made or new priorities appear.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is better. Live chat and messaging allow brief updates, reflections and ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or health demands while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
