Tina EllistonNCPS

Tina Elliston is a counsellor and psychotherapist who blends practical talking therapies with coaching. She has five years' experience and an NCPS credential, and she draws on counselling skills, mindfulness, cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused methods. Tina aims to work at each person's pace and focuses on achievable goals and small steps.

She keeps client numbers low to give personalised attention. Sessions often include short exercises, worksheets and gentle check-ins to help people build coping tools. Tina describes her style as warm and approachable, and she encourages people to set the agenda for their work together.

Tina has a background in nursing and midwifery and has supported people through fertility difficulties, pregnancy, baby loss and birth trauma. That experience informs how she talks about pregnancy and childbirth related concerns, breastfeeding and perinatal mental health.

Her practice also covers a wide range of everyday struggles, including anxiety, depression, sleep problems, stress, low self-esteem and relationship or intimacy issues. She works with practical problems such as communication, career changes and parenting challenges, and she supports people facing long-term illness, caregiving strain and bereavement.

Tina has additional diplomas that relate to areas such as ADHD, autism, attachment and bereavement. She uses those perspectives to shape conversations and to help people make sense of difficulties. The emphasis is on helping people move forward rather than staying stuck.

People can expect a collaborative approach. Tina will help set goals, offer feedback between sessions, and adapt the pace and focus to match individual needs.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Tina uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques to guide her conversations. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead, helping them feel heard while they decide what to change. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviours affect mood and teaches practical steps to try different responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and life situation and recommend which methods to try first. That choice is collaborative and can change as you make progress or face new challenges.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use audio-only options if bandwidth is limited or switch to video when face-to-face conversation helps. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and mindfulness practices to an online setting so the work stays practical and focused.
