About Tina

Tina Hurley is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 10 years of practice. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and domestic abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, motivation and confidence. Tina presents herself as someone who listens and helps people make sense of what comes next after a major life change.

Her work focuses on recognising the client's experience and strengths. She starts by asking about the immediate problem and what the person wants to change. Sessions aim to make practical steps feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Conversations are straightforward and grounded in everyday life.

Tina draws on attachment-informed ways of thinking to look at how past relationships affect current patterns. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments that can shift mood and behaviour. Solution-focused methods help set short goals and review progress in a concrete way.

She supports people facing a wide range of concerns beyond those first mentioned, such as relationship conflict, parenting strain, career uncertainty, chronic health challenges, and issues around body image or addiction. The emphasis is on clarity and coping strategies that can be used between sessions.

Tina offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. The practicalities of starting are handled through an initial matching process and a first scheduled meeting, which lets people see how the work might fit into their life.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Many of Tina's sessions draw on Attachment-Based approaches, which look at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and responding to stress. This can help when patterns of trust, abandonment or communication keep recurring.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviours. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood and behaviours that feel stuck. Solution-focused work is used to set short-term, practical goals and to track small steps forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tina talks with each person about their needs, aims and preferences. Together they choose which methods to try and review what is helping as the sessions progress.

The therapist accepts international clients, but the original biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will fit into your routine. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, appointments or caregiving, and some formats need less bandwidth or allow shorter check-ins when time is limited.
