About Tina

Tina Elliston is a counsellor and psychotherapist registered with NCPS with five years' experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, bipolar, ADHD, relationships and other life changes. Tina uses practical talking therapies to help people set and work towards their goals.

She keeps her caseload small so she can focus on each person’s needs. Sessions often involve setting clear goals, working in manageable steps and using exercises between meetings. She checks in on progress and offers worksheets or short readings to build coping skills and awareness.

Tina commonly uses client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural approaches and mindfulness in her sessions. She blends these with solution-focused and narrative tools to help people change unhelpful patterns and tell a different story about themselves.

Her background in nursing and midwifery shapes how she works with pregnancy loss, fertility difficulties and birth trauma. She also has diplomas related to ADHD, autism, attachment theory, bereavement, bipolar and relationship issues which inform her practice.

Tina has worked a lot with women on concerns such as low self-esteem, sleep problems, body image and postnatal difficulties, and she also offers support around couple communication and intimacy. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

To begin, readers are asked to use the online matching process and book a first session. Costs vary by location and are managed through a cancellable subscription system.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's priorities. Online sessions using this approach give space for the client to set goals and steer the conversation, while the counsellor reflects and supports progress.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviour interact. In online work CBT typically uses practical exercises, short homework tasks and structured conversations to tackle anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and unhelpful habits.

Mindfulness therapy promotes present-moment awareness and stress reduction. Online sessions may introduce short guided practices and simple exercises to calm reactivity and improve sleep and focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tina will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That planning happens together, with regular reviews to see what works and what can change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around study, work and day-to-day life. They can allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and suit quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth needs depending on the format you choose.
