Tiziana Barton, BACP

Tiziana Barton helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain and issues such as anger, addiction and grief. She also supports those facing life changes, parenting challenges, intimacy concerns, and the effects of trauma or long-term health problems. Tiziana is a BACP member, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Tiziana describes her work as holistic, looking at mind, body and spirit together. She uses a mix of approaches to find what fits each person. Sessions focus on building awareness, reconnecting with a core sense of self, and addressing patterns that cause pain. Her style aims to be warm and non-judgemental. She emphasises being fully present and creating a trusting therapeutic relationship. That relationship is the main space where change and healing can happen. Practical help includes developing coping skills, managing symptoms like panic or low mood, and improving communication. Tiziana also works with lifelong patterns that stem from childhood experiences such as attachment wounds and abandonment issues. People are encouraged to bring questions and to check that they feel a connection before continuing. The process can be short term and goal-focused, or longer and more exploratory depending on what someone wants to work on. Tiziana explains the options and supports people as they decide which path to take.

Approaches that translate to online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. It helps people who struggle with trust, abandonment fears and repeating relationship patterns by exploring those early bonds and how they affect today. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions. The counsellor offers empathy, acceptance and active listening so the client can explore feelings, build self-awareness and find their own solutions to problems such as low self-esteem or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood or change unhelpful habits through clear exercises and short-term goals. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through what feels helpful and adapt methods to suit the person's goals and preferences. That discussion is part of early sessions so work can be tailored together. If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it fits around daily life, reduces travel time and can make it easier to fit a session into a lunch break or after work. Some approaches like CBT lend themselves to focused exercises and homework that work well remotely, while attachment and client-centred work can be effective in longer conversations online. Discuss practical arrangements and preferred ways of working when you first make contact so sessions match your needs.
