Tiziana Barton , BACP

Tiziana Barton is a counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship and intimacy difficulties, and challenges linked to ADHD, addictions, eating and sleeping problems. She also supports those dealing with career change, compassion fatigue, parenting strains and issues related to LGBT identity. Her tone is calm and encouraging and she invites people to take the first step when they feel ready.

Tiziana practises with an integrative mindset, drawing on several approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions aim to be straightforward and grounded. Conversations focus on what is most troubling now, practical coping strategies, and ways to reconnect with a truer sense of self.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is recorded as BACP. Over 19 years she has worked with a wide range of concerns from trauma and abuse to self-esteem, bipolar and chronic health issues. This experience shapes a steady, empathic way of working in sessions.

Tiziana believes many difficulties come from a disconnection from an original, creative core self. Therapy is presented as a chance to notice patterns, regain perspective and relearn inner resources. She uses a compassionate, non-judgemental stance to foster awareness and practical change.

People can expect an approach that balances presence with tools. The relationship in therapy is described as the main vehicle for healing, and Tiziana aims to create an environment of trust and respect so people can speak frankly and begin to make shifts.

Her work also attends to specific life events such as loss, redundancy or illness. Sessions are framed so clients can either focus on short-term problem solving or explore deeper, longer-term themes according to their goals.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections shape current relationships. It helps people understand patterns in closeness and trust and is useful for intimacy, attachment issues and relationship difficulties.

Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person's own perspective. The counsellor listens without judgement and offers acceptance, which can help when someone needs to rebuild self-esteem or make sense of life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers clear practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and sleep problems and can produce concrete strategies for day-to-day coping.

Tiziana will work collaboratively to find the best fit from these approaches. She discusses goals and preferences with each person, and adapts techniques so they feel right for the issue at hand. Choosing the method is part of the work together rather than a one-size-fits-all decision.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility. Video lets people see non-verbal cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, and text or chat can support quick check-ins or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity over time.
