Tina Elliston, NCPS

Tina Elliston is a counsellor, psychotherapist and life coach who focuses on helping individuals navigate stress, anxiety, grief and transitions. She has five years of counselling experience and works with each person to set goals and pace the work to suit them. Tina holds NCPS as a listed credential and draws on a background in nursing and midwifery when supporting people through health-related worries and pregnancy or bereavement issues.

Tina uses a mix of counselling skills, mindfulness, cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused ideas to help people develop practical coping tools. Sessions can include short exercises, worksheets and gentle homework to build awareness and new habits over time. She aims for a warm, approachable atmosphere so people can speak freely about difficult experiences.

Her experience includes supporting people with fertility difficulties, baby loss, birth trauma and postnatal challenges alongside anxiety, depression, sleep problems and low self-esteem. She also works with relationship and intimacy issues and offers life coaching to help with career or practical life changes. Tina mentions additional study in areas such as ADHD, autism, attachment and bereavement.

Tina keeps caseloads deliberately small to allow closer working and follow-up. She offers pacing without pressure and checks in on progress between sessions. This includes feedback on worksheets and suggested reading when helpful. The aim is to help people move forward rather than remain stuck.

People looking for support with chronic illness, caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns or ageing issues will find those topics listed among her focuses. She accepts international clients and provides sessions in English. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How her approaches translate to online work

Tina commonly uses client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy in her practice. Client-centred work focuses on listening closely and following the person’s pace, helping them say what matters and set their own goals. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful habits and improve mood or sleep.

She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas when relationships or intimacy issues are part of the work. This helps people understand interactions, notice feelings behind conflict and practise new ways of connecting. These approaches suit grief, health worries, anxiety and life changes because they combine listening with practical steps.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the process. Tina will work collaboratively to identify what feels most useful based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Early sessions focus on agreeing goals and trying approaches in short steps so people can see what helps.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel, which can make regular appointments easier to keep. If you are considering remote work, confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how appointments will be conducted. Online sessions can allow shorter check-ins, easier scheduling around work or caregiving, and a way to maintain continuity when life is otherwise busy.
