Tina Dale , NCPS

Tina Dale is a counsellor who draws on a compassionate, creative approach to help people through stress, loss and relationship strain. She uses clear, practical methods to make difficult feelings easier to talk about. Tina holds an NCPS credential and works from the United Kingdom, offering sessions in English.

She supports people coping with anxiety, depression and trauma from childhood or adulthood. She helps those dealing with grief, addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, low self-esteem, and challenges around intimacy. Tina also works with concerns linked to parenting, career change, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Tina tailors each session to the person in front of her. She listens, helps clients name what matters, and guides small, manageable steps forward. Techniques include elements from cognitive behavioural and acceptance-based approaches, alongside attachment-focused and client-centred work.

People who want to understand how past experiences shape present relationships will find this relevant. Tina explores attachment wounds, abandonment issues, and communication problems alongside practical ways to cope with chronic pain, caregiving strain, or serious illness. She also addresses body image, blended family dynamics and the stresses of adoption or foster journeys.

Tina aims to build resilience and clearer direction rather than quick fixes. Sessions focus on what can change now, and on simple strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. If someone wants support to reconnect with others and rebuild meaning after loss, Tina offers steady, person-centred guidance.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It teaches values-based action so clients can make small steps toward a life that feels meaningful despite distress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship experiences shape current connections and helps people repair or reshape those patterns in their close relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tina will discuss goals, past experiences and personal preferences to decide which methods fit best. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as needs evolve during therapy.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling flexible. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can be handy for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when schedules change.
