About Tina
Tina Elliston works with individuals on stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and parenting concerns, and neurodiversity-related issues. She uses counselling skills alongside mindfulness, cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused methods so clients can set goals and work at a manageable pace. Tina is registered NCPS and has five years' experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist.
Tina keeps her client list small so she can follow progress and offer regular check-ins. She uses short practical tasks such as worksheets and reading suggestions to build coping skills between sessions. Clients set their goals and work in bite-sized steps, with pace agreed together.
Her background includes nursing and midwifery, and she draws on that experience when addressing fertility, pregnancy loss and birth trauma. She has worked with women on perinatal concerns, menopausal symptoms and related stress, and with people coping with chronic illness or major life changes.
Tina has additional diplomas in areas including ADHD, autism, attachment theory, bereavement, bipolar and relationship work. She also offers life coaching techniques alongside counselling to help with planning and practical change.
She has experience helping people manage low mood, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem and career stress. Conversations focus on building awareness and practical tools so clients can move forward from feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
How her approaches work for online counselling
Client-centred work focuses on the client's experience and priorities, giving time to discuss what matters and to set personal goals. This approach helps when people want to be guided at their own pace and choose what to work on.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at practical ways to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. It is useful for problems such as anxiety, low mood, sleep troubles and stress, and often uses short tasks and worksheets between sessions.
Emotionally-focused ideas concentrate on understanding feelings and improving communication in relationships. This can help with intimacy issues, relationship conflict and rebuilding connection after loss.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss different methods and agree a way forward based on the person's goals and preferences, working together to adapt techniques where needed.
Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting counselling into a busy week and reducing travel time. Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to use short check-ins, complete worksheets between appointments, or schedule sessions around childcare or work commitments.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
