About Ina

Ina Thomson works on stress, anxiety, family conflict, grief and self-esteem using a humanistic approach and evidence-based techniques. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience as a counsellor.

Ina listens carefully and adapts her way of working to each person. She uses humanistic ideas that focus on people’s strengths alongside practical tools to challenge negative thoughts and change behaviour. Sessions can be conversational or more structured, depending on what a client prefers.

Her work often looks at how past overwhelming experiences affect reactions now. She pays attention to nervous system responses and helps people recognise triggers for strong emotions. This includes tools to manage stress, panic and emotional dysregulation.

Ina has experience supporting people with relationship issues, intimacy-related concerns, parenting stresses, eating-related worries, anger and coping with life changes. She also works with people who feel isolated or struggle with life purpose and self-love.

Sessions are offered in English and German. She practises in the United Kingdom and is registered with the BACP. To begin, clients are invited to use the site’s matching process and schedule a first session through the counsellor booking flow.

How Ina uses evidence-based methods in remote counselling

Ina draws on humanistic counselling alongside specific evidence-based techniques to support people online. Challenging negative thoughts involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them against real-life evidence; it helps with anxiety, low mood and low self-esteem. Behaviour-focused work looks at changing routines and responses through small practical steps, which can reduce symptoms of stress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Ina will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then agree a plan together. This collaborative process means methods can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments and can reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed, and for sessions that do not require video when bandwidth or quiet time is limited.
