About Tina

Tina Hurley is a counsellor with ten years of experience practising in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety and challenges linked to trauma and domestic abuse. Tina helps clients who are dealing with grief, low self-esteem and motivation, and she supports those trying to build more confidence and direction in life.

Her approach begins with the belief that each person knows their story best. Sessions are collaborative and focus on the client’s strengths. Tina aims to help people find practical ways to manage difficult feelings and to take steps towards change.

In the room she draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and on client-centred methods to keep the work focused on the person’s priorities. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to challenge unhelpful thoughts and to build new habits. Mindfulness and solution-focused tools are added to support coping and to set achievable goals.

Tina has worked across a range of concerns including addictions, parenting stress, career questions, sleeping problems and compassion fatigue. She also supports people affected by chronic illness, bereavement and communication or commitment issues. Her wider focus areas include attachment issues, autism and body image concerns.

Her style is practical, respectful and strengths-based. She aims to create a space where people can speak honestly, try out new ways of coping and plan realistic next steps toward a more balanced life.

How approaches like attachment work online

Tina uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationship patterns affect current feelings and connections. This approach helps people spot repeated patterns and try different ways of relating that feel safer and more helpful.

She also works in a client-centred way, which means the session agenda follows what the person brings and focuses on their priorities and strengths. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and to build practical habits for managing anxiety, low mood or sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your concerns, try different methods and decide with you which tools fit your goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor the work to your needs.

Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins between in-person appointments, or reduce travel time. Online work can make it simpler to keep momentum between sessions and to use homework tasks that fit into everyday life.
