Tina Jennings , NCPS

Tina Jennings is a counsellor who blends person-centred listening with practical strategies. She uses a gentle, hopeful style to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and grief. Tina holds NCPS credential and has ten years of experience working in mental health settings in the United Kingdom.

She combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques to focus on what is happening now. Sessions often look at coping skills for daily life, ways to change unhelpful thinking, and small steps people can try between meetings. She also draws on attachment ideas when relationships and connection shape a person’s struggles.

Tina has worked in NHS pastoral and spiritual care and with charities such as Mind. That background means she is used to supporting people through low mood, bereavement and anxiety. Her time in the Army gave her insight into trauma and its long-term effects on daily life.

Many people come to her for help with problems like sleep, anger, addiction, career worries and compassion fatigue. She also supports issues around identity and LGBT concerns, relationship problems, and adjustment after separation or loss. Tina aims to meet each person with an open, non-judgemental approach.

Practical matters are discussed openly in sessions. Tina works with clients to identify small, realistic goals. She encourages clients to try new ideas and notice what changes, so progress feels concrete and manageable.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect present relationships and emotional reactions. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in how they connect and practise new ways of relating to others. Client-centred therapy focuses on active listening and reflection, giving people space to tell their story while the counsellor offers empathy and support. This approach suits anyone wanting a calm, accepting space to work through feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thoughts and habits by breaking problems into small, manageable steps. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and difficulties with sleep or anger.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day challenges and adapt methods as therapy progresses. That way people can try an approach and change direction if something does not feel helpful.

Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging adds flexibility. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone calls are good when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets people check in quickly, and messaging supports brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel.
