About Tina

Tina Dale works on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and grief using a mix of talking therapies. She combines practical methods with a focus on attachment and emotional experience. Tina is registered with NCPS and has four years' experience in practice.

Tina sees people who are coping with loss, abuse, relationship strains and mood difficulties. She also supports those facing addiction, parenting pressures, career change, chronic health problems and questions about identity. She uses everyday language and direct techniques to help people make changes they can use outside sessions.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early relationships shape current connections. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are offered where emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.

In sessions she listens for what matters most and works with the person to set clear, achievable goals. Practical exercises, behavioural plans and values-based work are common. She also explores past events when these help explain current difficulties.

Tina aims to make sessions straightforward and focused. People leave with specific actions to try between appointments and a plan for moving forward. Sessions are conducted in English and she practises in the United Kingdom.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and difficulties around purpose and meaning.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change patterns. It is commonly applied to anxiety, depression and sleeping problems.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current connections and helps people understand patterns in closeness and trust.

Choosing a suitable approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. They will agree together which methods to try and review progress as therapy continues.

Please check the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can help fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins where needed, and remove travel time so people can schedule appointments around work or family commitments.
