About Tina
Tina Cooney is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures and anger. She works with adults and offers sessions in English, including to international clients.
Tina uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness exercises to help people manage strong emotions and unhelpful thinking. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns that come from early relationships. In sessions she introduces practical steps, repeated skills and short exercises that can be used between meetings.
Her background includes training in mindfulness and an integrative approach that mixes different methods to suit what a person needs. That approach means conversations may move between talking, practical skill-building and simple reflective work rather than staying on one method alone. Tina describes herself as trauma informed and has experience with trauma-related concerns.
Sessions are offered in ways that fit into everyday life. She has worked with people who are managing parenting stress and blended-family issues, as well as those coping with separation, abandonment and attachment difficulties. Other areas she supports include communication problems, codependency and caregiver stress.
People can expect short, clear steps in sessions and suggestions for practical practice between meetings. The focus is on manageable changes - for example breathing and grounding techniques, reconsidering a thought pattern, or trying a small behavioural experiment. Booking starts by completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Tina works with cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness in ways that fit online. CBT here means looking at thoughts and behaviours together and trying small experiments to shift routine responses. Mindfulness involves short attention and breathing practices that can be practised during or between sessions and help with anxiety and stress.She also uses attachment-based ideas to map how early relationships affect present reactions. That approach helps when worries stem from feeling abandoned, struggling with trust, or repeating old patterns in relationships. Together the approaches offer both skills and understanding rather than only talking about past events.
Finding the right mix is part of the work. Tina will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That choice is collaborative and can change as you notice what helps.
The biography indicates a preference for online video calls and phone sessions, and notes messaging within a set 50 minute slot on the platform; confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or parenting. It also allows short practical check-ins, guided mindfulness practices during a call, and written exercises that can be returned between meetings.
