Empathic counsellor blending person-centred care with CBT techniques
Book with TinaAbout Tina
Tina Jennings is a counsellor who combines a person-centred way of working with practical techniques to help people make change. She holds a BSc in Therapeutic Counselling and an advanced diploma, and is registered with the NCPS. Tina aims to listen deeply and help clients find small, usable steps forward.
She brings ten years of practice and a wide range of life experience to sessions. Her background includes work in the NHS pastoral and spiritual care services and time with Mind.
Background and approach
She has also spent time in the Army, which informs her understanding of trauma and its long-term effects. In sessions she uses client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and brief solution-focused tools. That means clients can talk things through while also trying short activities or ways of thinking that help in the moment.
She describes her style as empathic, non-judgemental and hopeful. Tina works with issues such as anxiety, low mood and grief, and also supports people facing relationship struggles, addictions, sleeping problems and career stress. She lists LGBT among her focus areas and welcomes conversations that relate to identity and belonging.
She is experienced supporting people with complex concerns including attachment difficulties, dissociation, eating-related problems and domestic violence. Practical goals and clearer coping strategies are often part of the work she offers. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching form and then arrange sessions according to availability.
Tina describes herself as spiritual rather than religious, and she uses that perspective alongside counselling skills to help people find hope and new ways forward.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions using this approach help identify patterns in close relationships and find gentler ways of relating that reduce anxiety and conflict.Client-Centred Therapy puts the client's experience at the centre of the session. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client's pace, which helps people feel heard and better able to make their own decisions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and the counsellor will work collaboratively to decide what fits best. Together they will consider your goals, preferences and what feels most useful for your situation rather than sticking to one method.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. If you need different ways of meeting, please confirm the counsellor's current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions useful for shorter check-ins, clearer planning between work breaks and for having consistent access to support when attending in person is difficult.
