Tina Cooney, BACP

Tina Cooney is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, family strain, trauma and parenting challenges. She uses straightforward, practical techniques to support people who want change. Tina works in English and accepts international clients.

She describes herself as an integrative therapist, which means she draws on different approaches depending on what a person needs. That can include cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness practices and talking therapies that focus on relationships and attachment. Sessions aim to be warm and non-judgemental so people can talk through difficult feelings at their own pace.

Tina has five years of professional experience and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She also holds a diploma in mindfulness and has completed additional training in trauma rewind therapy. These inform how she works with people who have experienced abuse, dissociation, divorce or abandonment issues.

Her clinical interests cover a wide range of concerns such as anger, codependency, communication problems, caregiver stress, blended family issues and feelings of emptiness. She also supports people facing attachment difficulties and personality-related struggles like avoidant or dependent patterns.

For practical arrangements, Tina prefers online video calls or phone sessions and can offer messaging within a timed 50 minute slot on the platform. Prospective clients are encouraged to follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.

How different approaches can work well online

Tina uses cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness therapy in ways that suit remote work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be practised with worksheets and brief exercises between sessions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and help people notice their feelings without acting on them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tina will discuss goals and preferences and try different methods to see what fits. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they feel useful and doable for each person.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around daily life and reducing travel time. Online video or phone calls can make it easier to check in from work breaks or busy home schedules. Messaging is offered in a timed 50 minute slot on the platform for people who prefer typed exchanges, but clients should confirm the current session options before booking.
