About Tina
Tina Dale is a counsellor who uses Narrative Therapy as a core approach. She greets people with warmth and curiosity and aims to help them make sense of painful experiences. Sessions focus on practical steps that feel manageable in everyday life.
Tina helps with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship strain and issues with intimacy. She also supports people facing work stress, career crossroads, addictions and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Additional areas she attends to include attachment difficulties, body image, parenting strain and challenges linked to chronic illness or caregiving. Her style is collaborative and person-centred. That means the conversation follows what matters to the client rather than a fixed script.
Techniques may draw on cognitive behavioural ideas and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to tackle unhelpful thoughts and build values-based action. Tina brings four years of experience to her practice and lists NCPS as her credential. She works with people in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.
Practical formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different routines and needs. People who get in touch are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is arranged based on the therapist's availability and sessions are provided through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
This approach is aimed at helping people reconnect, find clarity, and take manageable steps forward.

Online session options
How Narrative and ACT work online
Many sessions draw on Narrative Therapy, which helps people separate themselves from a problem and retell their life stories in ways that open up new possibilities. This approach can be useful for grief, relationship strain and long-standing patterns that feel stuck.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also commonly used. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them, and then committing to values-based actions. It can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about what matters to them and try different methods to see what fits. This is a collaborative process and plans change as goals and needs become clearer.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good when visual connection and non-verbal cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or suit people with less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, reflective writing or when typing feels easier than talking. Together these options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
