About Tina

Tina Dale is a counsellor who uses a compassionate, creative approach to help people through painful life events and ongoing struggles. She brings four years of practice experience and works with individuals facing grief, trauma, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. Tina explains things simply and focuses on practical steps that people can use day to day.

She aims to understand how past experiences affect present feelings and behaviours. Sessions are collaborative - she listens, reflects, and helps people untangle patterns that keep them stuck. The work often covers attachment and intimacy issues, coping with loss, and rebuilding connections with others.

Tina draws on a mix of evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches. She adapts these to each person’s situation and pace, and uses emotion-focused conversations when needed. The goal is to build tools for managing stress, mood and difficult thoughts.

Practical concerns such as sleep, eating, addiction, and day-to-day coping are included alongside deeper issues like abandonment, adoption and autism-related challenges. She also supports people dealing with long-term illness, caregiving strain, or career and identity questions.

Tina works in English and is based in the United Kingdom. Her NCPS credential is shown as provided. To begin, clients follow the site process to match with a therapist and arrange sessions according to availability.

Step 3

How Tina’s approaches translate to online therapy

Tina uses practical approaches that can work well in an online setting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and refocus on values and action; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people develop different ways of connecting and relating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers concrete strategies for changing unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tina discusses goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then chooses methods collaboratively with each person. That way the plan fits the individual rather than a fixed model.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that helps. It can also make it simpler to keep regular appointments around work, caregiving or health needs. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt materials and exercises for remote sessions so practical skill-building can continue between meetings.
