Tina Hurley brings a decade of clinical experience to her counselling work in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration, and she focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. Tina believes people already hold strengths that can help them change, and she aims to make the first steps easier to take.

Her approach is practical and grounded. She uses client-centred listening to understand each person's story, then draws on cognitive behavioural strategies and attachment-based ideas when they fit.

Background and approach

Mindfulness and solution-focused work are added to help people build simple routines and small achievable goals. Tina often supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting pressures and career uncertainty. She also works with concerns such as sleep or eating difficulties, chronic illness or caregiver stress, and issues linked to identity including LGBT matters.

Her additional focus areas include abandonment, attachment issues, autism and blended family challenges. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Conversations explore what matters most right now and set practical steps for change.

Tina emphasises clear goals, coping strategies, and ways to protect emotional energy while managing everyday demands. People choose her for straightforward guidance and steady support during hard transitions. She welcomes international clients and offers a range of online session formats to suit different schedules and situations.

How Tina's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. In practical terms this means looking at patterns of closeness and distance and trying different ways of relating that feel safer and more useful. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and uses small experiments to change unhelpful patterns; it is often helpful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. Tina treats the decision as a collaborative process. She will listen to your goals and the difficulties you bring, then suggest a blend of methods and check in regularly to see what is working and what to adjust.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people keep eye contact and use visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter reflections or busy schedules. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or life changes, and they allow follow-up between sessions when agreed with the therapist.
