About Tina
Tina Cooney is a British counsellor registered with the BACP with five years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges and anger. Sessions are delivered in English and she accepts international clients.
Tina uses a practical, integrative approach that mixes talking therapy with mindfulness and cognitive techniques. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-based ideas to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Her background includes a diploma in mindfulness and experience as a trauma‑informed practitioner.
In sessions she aims to help people identify what keeps anger and stress cycling - thoughts, behaviour and unhelpful routines. She offers straightforward tools such as grounding exercises, simple mindfulness practices and ways to spot automatic reactions. The focus is on small, doable changes that reduce reactivity and improve communication.
Tina prefers online video calls or phone sessions. She can also offer message-based work within a set 50-minute slot through the platform, typing with camera and sound off. Anyone considering work with her should confirm the current session options before booking.
Her approach is collaborative and practical. She helps people set short-term goals, try techniques between sessions and review what works. The emphasis is on building steady skills to manage anger, reduce stress and improve family interactions over time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Tina commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on noticing and accepting difficult thoughts while clarifying values and committing to small, practical steps. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers exercises to change unhelpful patterns. She also uses mindfulness practices to help people calm the body and widen perspective. Mindfulness can be useful for reducing reactivity, increasing awareness of triggers and improving focus during stressful moments. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Tina will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit best with their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together. Her stated session formats include online video calls and phone sessions, and she can offer message‑based sessions in a timed 50-minute slot through the platform. If you need other formats, confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow brief check-ins during a work break, or suit people who prefer not to be on camera for every meeting.Areas of focus
