About Tina
Tina Hurley is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression and issues around motivation. Tina emphasises a respectful, person-focused approach and believes clients carry the expertise in their own lives.
Her sessions aim to create calm and clarity. She uses plain language and practical steps to help clients untangle daily stress and overwhelming feelings.
Background and approach
Tina encourages small, manageable changes that build confidence over time. Tina draws on attachment-based work to look at how past relationships affect current patterns. She also uses client-centred methods to follow what matters most to each person.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Parents who feel worn down by sleep problems, eating worries, managing change or constant worry may find this approach useful. She also offers support for people dealing with addictions, career stress, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges.
Tina keeps sessions practical and focused on immediate coping alongside longer-term change. Her practice respects each person’s pace and preferences. Sessions can include reflective listening, goal-setting and simple skills to use between meetings.
Tina aims to help people feel steadier and more able to handle life’s pressures.

Therapeutic approaches and online working
Tina commonly combines attachment-based work and cognitive behavioural techniques to address emotional patterns and daily difficulties. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current reactions and helps people notice repeating patterns in relationships. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.She also uses client-centred principles, which means sessions follow the client’s pace and priorities rather than a set agenda. Deciding which mix of approaches to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods to suit what the client wants to achieve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face to face when a fuller conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be a better fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or fitting therapy into a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals can combine these formats to make therapy more accessible and easier to match to real-life schedules.
