Tina Hurley, BACP

Tina Hurley is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and domestic abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression and addictive behaviours. Tina works from the view that each person knows their own story and already holds strengths that can help them move forward.

In sessions she prioritises an empowering, respectful style. Tina listens for what matters most to each person and helps them identify practical steps they can try between meetings. She aims to make therapy a space where people feel heard and clearer about next steps, whether that means managing everyday anxiety or finding ways to grieve a loss.

Tina draws on several therapeutic approaches. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at relationship patterns, Client-Centred work to keep the sessions focused on the person, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help with thoughts and behaviours that maintain distress. She also brings mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to practical problem solving.

Her background includes a decade of working with adults facing a wide range of concerns, such as parenting strain, career stress, body image, chronic illness and communication problems. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Sessions are offered in English and she is open to working with people located outside the UK. Before booking, people are encouraged to confirm current session arrangements and scheduling details via the platform.

Approaches that guide online work

Tina commonly uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. This approach can help when people notice repeated difficulties in trust, closeness or conflict with others.

She also uses Client-Centred methods which centre the person’s experience and pace. This means sessions are shaped around what the individual brings and what feels most useful for them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is another tool she draws on to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different actions to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tina will collaborate to decide what feels like the best fit based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around everyday life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also be useful when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are needed rather than a longer in-person appointment. Many registered or accredited professionals use these approaches effectively in remote sessions, and your therapist will help adapt methods to suit how you prefer to work.
