Tina Dale, NCPS

Tina Dale is a counsellor who combines compassionate listening with practical therapeutic tools. She offers steady support to people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship strain, and questions about meaning and purpose. Tina uses a warm, down-to-earth style to help people understand what is making life feel hard and to find ways through it.

She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. These methods are used to help people notice difficult thoughts, build stronger emotional connections, and make small, manageable changes in day-to-day life. Sessions focus on clear steps and real-life skills rather than jargon.

With four years of experience and NCPS on her record, Tina tailors each session to the person in front of her. She talks through past wounds as well as current pressures to uncover patterns that keep problems repeating. The aim is to help people reconnect with others and with themselves.

Tina also addresses concerns such as sleep and eating problems, parenting strains, stress at work, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She works alongside people coping with chronic illness, caregiving stress, bereavement, and identity questions within LGBT contexts.

Her practical focus means sessions often include straightforward strategies for emotion regulation, improving communication, and coping with change. People who feel stuck or overwhelmed can expect a collaborative process that looks at both feelings and actions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a more meaningful life, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they feel disconnected and learn new ways to relate to others, which can ease relationship strain and intimacy worries.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist and client work together to decide what techniques fit best for the person’s goals and day-to-day life. That collaborative exploration can include trying different ways of working and adjusting as needs change.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, since the biography does not list formats. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also means skills and strategies can be practised between sessions in the client’s everyday environment. Registered or accredited professionals can help set realistic goals and adapt exercises so the work feels useful and doable.
