Tina Cooney offers calm, straightforward support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, family tensions, trauma and parenting worries. She is introduced by name and keeps things practical, aiming to help clients take small steps that lead to clearer thinking and steadier days. Tina has a BACP accreditation and five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
She uses a mix of approaches so sessions can include problem-solving tools, short mindfulness exercises, or ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts.
Background and approach
This flexible style means conversations are shaped around what the person needs in the moment. Her work often focuses on feelings that follow difficult relationships, abandonment, loss and the impact of past abuse. She also helps with anger, attachment concerns, communication problems and managing the practical strain of caregiving.
Sessions aim to be a place to talk things through and try concrete techniques to reduce overwhelm. Tina describes her practice as collaborative. She invites people to set the pace and choose what they want to work on.
That could be developing coping skills, practising gentle mindfulness, or exploring personal narratives to make sense of painful experiences. Online video or phone sessions are her preferred formats, with messaging offered during set session times when requested. Fees vary by location and are delivered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Tina commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values; it often helps with anxiety and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people change how they relate to others and to themselves.Choosing a way of working is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. They may try an approach for a few sessions and adapt it, mixing short mindfulness exercises, practical CBT-style techniques or narrative ways of making sense of experience as needed.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to fit different lives. Video allows face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a simpler way to check in and need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around school, work or caregiving schedules.
