Tina Dale, NCPS

Tina Dale is a counsellor who blends practical therapy methods with a warm, down-to-earth style. She helps people who are feeling stuck by talking through what matters most to them. Tina uses straightforward tools to address anxiety, depression, grief and relationship strain.

Her work often looks at how past experiences affect today’s feelings. She helps people untangle attachment issues, trauma from childhood or adulthood, and problems with intimacy. Sessions also cover stress, sleep and appetite changes, addictive behaviours, and the emotional impact of long-term illness or caregiving.

Tina describes her approach as personalised. She draws on therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to suit each person’s needs. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy where helpful.

With four years of experience and NCPS listed after her name, Tina aims to support people facing life changes, career uncertainty, parenting strain, and challenges linked to identity and LGBT concerns. She also works with issues like ADHD, body image, codependency and bereavement.

People can expect collaborative sessions that focus on understanding root causes and trying practical steps between meetings. The goal is to build resilience and clearer ways of coping, not quick fixes. Those who want to begin can follow the platform steps to connect and book a first session.

How therapy approaches fit into online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values, often useful for anxiety, depression and coping with chronic health issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections, which can help with intimacy, abandonment worries and family-related stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying small behaviour changes, often used for anxiety, sleep problems and mood shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, personal preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan so it fits the person’s life and needs.

If you prefer online sessions, check the session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make fitting appointments into a busy week easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use visual tools or worksheets during a meeting. Confirm available formats and scheduling details when you book so you can choose what fits your routine.
