About Tina
Tina Hurley brings ten years of practice in the United Kingdom to her work with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She holds BACP registration and centres sessions on the person's own goals and strengths. Tina writes simply and directly; she encourages people who want change to take the first steps and offers steady support along the way.
Her background includes helping people through trauma and domestic abuse, bereavement and living with loss, and difficulties with motivation and confidence. She also works with those dealing with addiction, sleep problems and the strain of caregiving. Tina pays attention to how attachment, past wounds and current relationships shape day-to-day coping.
In sessions she uses approaches that suit the person rather than a single formula. That can mean practical goal-setting, noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviours, or using mindful awareness to soften distress. She aims for clear, manageable steps that fit into busy lives.
Tina describes the person as the expert on their own story and treats therapy as a collaborative process. She focuses on listening closely, helping people name what matters, and building on small successes. The tone tends to be warm, direct and hopeful.
People often come to her for help with major life changes, relationship issues, ADHD concerns, body image, chronic illness or problems linked to attachment and abandonment. She invites anyone curious about making a change to explore what a different future might look like.

How Tina’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In practice this means noticing how trust, expectations and closeness show up in present relationships and practising different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses clear steps to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours that reduce distress. Client-centred therapy offers space for the person to tell their story while the therapist listens without judgement and follows the client’s lead.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Tina will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adapt as work progresses in a collaborative way.
If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when that suits, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to work with a therapist across different locations, which is helpful for people living abroad or frequently travelling. Registered and accredited professionals aim to make online sessions practical and focused on real-life changes rather than just conversation.
