Tina Hurley , BACP

Tina Hurley is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low self‑esteem. Tina invites clients to tell their story and works with them to find practical ways forward.

Tina believes each person knows their life best. She builds on existing strengths and helps people try small changes that make a difference. Her style is direct but warm, encouraging clients to take steps at a manageable pace.

In sessions she uses a mix of approaches to suit the person in front of her. This can include attention to attachment patterns, using thinking skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts, and practical problem solving for current issues. Mindfulness tools are also offered to reduce stress and improve focus.

Tina has supported people dealing with trauma and domestic abuse, long‑term grief, addiction issues, sleeping problems and parenting strain. She also works with concerns such as body image, chronic illness, neurodiversity and relationship or communication difficulties.

Her approach aims to make therapy useful and relevant. Conversations are aimed at clear goals and small experiments between sessions. Tina encourages honest feedback so work can be adjusted as needs change.

People who want a collaborative, straight‑talking counsellor often find her approach helpful. She supports LGBT clients and accepts international clients for online work. Sessions are offered in English.

How Tina’s approaches work online

Tina often blends attachment‑based work with cognitive behavioural techniques to help people understand how relationships and patterns of thinking affect their feelings. Attachment‑based work looks at how early relationship patterns show up now and helps people make different choices in close relationships. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which can reduce anxiety and low mood.

She also draws on client‑centred, solution‑focused and mindfulness ideas to tailor therapy to each person. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Tina will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then try ways of working that fit their situation. She encourages feedback so the plan can change over time if needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging. Video lets people use body language and screen resources for exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a short check‑in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit quick reflections, written exercises or clients who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel while keeping a steady course of support.
