About Tina
Tina Elliston is a counsellor and psychotherapist who blends emotionally-focused work with practical tools. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches to help people make sense of difficult feelings. Tina keeps her caseload small to build a steady, collaborative relationship with each person she sees.
Tina works at a pace that suits the individual. She uses short exercises, worksheets and gentle check-ins so progress feels manageable.
Background and approach
Goals are set by the client and reviewed together rather than imposed. Her background in nursing and midwifery informs her understanding of pregnancy, baby loss and birth trauma. That experience also shapes her work with fertility difficulties, menopausal issues and health-related anxiety.
She can offer focused support for bereavement and perinatal concerns. Tina also supports people facing stress, anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, relationship and intimacy issues, and difficulties with self‑esteem. She includes coaching-style conversations when helpful to address career stress, life transitions and coping strategies.
Therapeutic approaches she uses include mindfulness, narrative and solution-focused ideas alongside CBT and client-centred listening. She aims to help people develop awareness and practical tools so they can move forward from feeling stuck. Tina holds NCPS and has five years’ experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist.
She offers sessions in English and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally by online or phone formats.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Tina uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand and shift painful emotional patterns in relationships and personal life. This approach focuses on identifying core feelings and improving emotional connection so people can respond differently to distress.She also draws on client-centred therapy, which prioritises a warm, accepting relationship and lets the client lead the pace and topics of work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to notice unhelpful thoughts and try small practical changes that reduce worry and low mood.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt techniques as the work progresses. Clients and therapist review progress together and change direction when needed.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy lives or caring roles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is helpful, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or shorter check-ins, and live chat or text messaging can be used for brief reflections, between-session support or when writing things out feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments while still using emotionally-focused and practical methods.
