About Tina

Tina Hurley is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years of professional experience. She offers support for stress, anxiety, trauma and domestic abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem and motivation. Her work also covers relationship and family concerns, addiction, sleep and eating issues, and ADHD-related difficulties.

Tina starts from the view that the client knows their own story best. Sessions focus on practical steps and on what clients already do well. Conversations aim to identify patterns that get in the way and to try small changes that feel manageable.

She uses methods drawn from attachment-based work and client-centred conversations to build understanding of relationship patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas are used when thinking and behaviour routines are causing more strain than help. Mindfulness and solution-focused tools are offered to support day-to-day coping and clearer goal-setting.

Tina has worked with people dealing with bereavement, compassion fatigue and long-term health challenges as well as common concerns such as career stress, commitment worries and communication problems. She also lists additional focuses such as abandonment, attachment issues, autism and blended family matters.

Sessions are practical and conversational. Tina helps people test options, notice what changes, and plan next steps. For anyone feeling stuck after a big life change or under the pressure of early adulthood, her approach is direct and action-oriented.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and relationships. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns, name them and try different responses in everyday life. Client-centred work focuses on the client's perspective and on listening without directing; online conversations aim to give space for people to follow their own priorities while the counsellor reflects back what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, breaks down how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and suggests practical experiments to shift unhelpful routines. It often suits people dealing with anxiety, sleep and mood problems and can be used to set clear steps between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit those aims, and check in to see what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to adapt techniques when something does not feel useful.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into study or work schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible for people outside the UK to connect with a BACP counsellor who accepts international clients.
