About Tina
Tina Cooney is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, family tensions, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures and issues with anger. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Tina uses straightforward, practical ways to help people manage difficult feelings. She blends cognitive behavioural techniques with mindfulness exercises and acceptance-based ideas. She also draws on attachment-informed thinking to look at how past relationships shape current reactions.
Her background includes a diploma in mindfulness and a certificate in trauma rewind therapy. Tina describes her approach as integrative, which means she chooses methods from different approaches to suit a person's situation. That can include short CBT tasks, breathing and grounding practices, or narrative work to make sense of painful events.
Tina favours online work and usually meets people by video call or phone. She can also work via messaging within a scheduled 50-minute slot using the platform's text feature, with camera and sound off while typing. Anyone thinking of starting a series of sessions should confirm the current session options when they book.
In sessions she aims to create a direct, non-judgemental atmosphere so people can talk through what causes their anger and frustration. Together they identify practical steps to reduce flare-ups, manage stress at work or at home, and improve communication with the people who matter most.
How her approaches translate to online work
Tina uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try out new behaviours. CBT is practical and often includes short exercises to reduce reactivity and manage anger. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult feelings without getting carried away by them and clarifying what matters most to inform action. Mindfulness practice offers breathing and attention exercises to reduce tension and improve emotion regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tina will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods to try first, adjusting them if something does not feel useful. The therapist treats the selection of techniques as a collaborative process based on the client’s goals and preferences.
She normally meets people by online video call or by phone. Messaging is also offered in a scheduled 50-minute text slot on the platform, with camera and sound off while typing. If you need different session arrangements, confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, allow short check-ins when a full meeting is hard to schedule, and reduce travel time so people can use the time for practical coping work.
