About Tiziana
Tiziana Barton is a counsellor who helps people facing worry, loss, relationship strain, stress, anxiety and mood difficulties. She also supports those dealing with addictions, sleep or eating problems, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges and work-related strain. Tiziana brings 19 years of experience and a calm, patient style to sessions.
Tiziana’s practice uses a narrative focus alongside attachment-based and client-centred ideas. She listens for the stories people tell about themselves to spot patterns and moments that can be reshaped.
Background and approach
Conversations are plain and down-to-earth, aimed at finding practical ways forward rather than jargon-filled explanations. Her background includes long experience as a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shortened to BACP. That registration is the credential listed in her profile.
Tiziana describes her overall stance as holistic - paying attention to feelings, body responses and values when helping someone through difficult times. In sessions she works to build a respectful and safe relationship. The tone is non-judgemental and supportive, with an emphasis on being present and listening closely.
This helps people reconnect with their own strengths and inner resources. Tiziana uses a flexible mix of practical strategies and reflective conversation. She may draw on cognitive-behavioural methods or elements of dialectical and attachment-informed approaches depending on the issue.
The pace and focus are shaped by each person’s needs and goals.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Tiziana directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Tiziana often uses narrative therapy, which looks at the stories people tell about their lives and how those stories shape feelings and choices. Narrative work can help with identity concerns, relationship patterns and making changes to long-standing habits.She also draws on attachment-based ideas that focus on how past relationships affect current ways of relating. This approach can be helpful for people who want to understand trust, closeness and communication problems. Client-centred therapy is another strand she uses, which prioritises empathic listening and following the client’s pace to build understanding and self-direction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tiziana will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as things progress. This makes direction-setting a joint decision rather than a fixed plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and ongoing text-based messaging. Video suits in-depth conversation with visual cues, phone can work with lower bandwidth or for shorter check-ins, live chat is useful for focused exchanges and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy flexible around work, caregiving or mobility needs, and let people choose what fits their day-to-day life.
