About Tina
Tina Elliston is a counsellor and life coach who focuses on practical tools and steady support. She keeps her caseload small to spend time getting to know each person. Tina uses a mix of counselling skills, mindfulness, cognitive behavioural approaches and solution-focused work to help people set and reach their own goals.
She encourages work at a comfortable pace, often breaking tasks into bite-sized steps. Worksheets, short exercises and suggested reading are used between sessions to build awareness and coping skills. Tina follows the goals set by the person in front of her and tracks progress with gentle check-ins.
Her background includes nursing and midwifery, and she has worked with health-related worries, fertility difficulties, pregnancy loss and birth trauma. That experience informs her approach to issues around pregnancy, baby loss and postnatal mental health. She describes herself as warm and approachable and aims to create a space where people can talk openly about painful experiences.
Tina has additional diplomas in areas such as ADHD, autism, attachment theory, bereavement, bipolar and relationship work, and she draws on those studies when relevant. She also has experience supporting people with sleep difficulties, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and body image concerns.
Her work often covers life transitions, career questions, grief and compassion fatigue. People are invited to suggest appointment times if standard slots do not fit, and she will try to accommodate them. Tina is based in the United Kingdom and uses her NCPS credential where noted.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Tina commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques, explained plainly to help with everyday problems. Client-centred work means the counsellor follows the person’s concerns and priorities, offering reflective listening and support to help the person find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural work focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviours to ease symptoms such as anxiety, low mood or sleep disturbance.She also uses emotionally-focused ideas when relationships or emotional patterns are central to the issue. That approach helps people identify and work with strong feelings and improve communication patterns that affect closeness and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will work with the person’s goals, preferences and day-to-day needs to choose methods that fit, and will review what is working as therapy progresses in a collaborative way.
The biography does not list specific online or in-person session formats, so please confirm available formats before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they save travel time, can fit into a break at work and make it easier to schedule regular short check-ins. Others value the chance to use worksheets and brief exercises between sessions to reinforce learning and build better sleep and coping routines.
