About Tina

Tina Cooney works with stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns and anger, using a mix of practical therapy methods. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience in the UK.

Tina describes herself as an integrative counsellor who draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness alongside acceptance and commitment approaches. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. In sessions she introduces practical exercises, breathing and simple guided meditations when helpful.

She has particular experience helping with adoption and foster care matters, abandonment and attachment issues, and the stress faced by caregivers. Other areas she works with include communication problems, codependency, control issues, dissociation, and the impacts of domestic violence and separation.

Tina prefers working via online video calls and phone, and she can offer message-based sessions within a set 50 minute slot through the platform where camera and sound are turned off while typing. International clients are accepted and sessions are conducted in English.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment. Her approach aims to be practical and collaborative, with steps the client can use between sessions to manage symptoms and improve how they cope with everyday pressures.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Tina commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on helping people notice thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. This approach can help when stress or anxiety stop someone doing the things that matter to them.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. This can be useful for issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns and difficulties in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and they will agree together which methods to try. The process is collaborative and may include practical exercises or short between-session tasks to test what helps.

Her preferred formats are online video calls and phone sessions, and she can offer message sessions within a set 50 minute slot on the platform with camera and sound off while typing. If you need a different arrangement, confirm the current session options before booking so they match your daily routine and practical needs.
