About Tina
Tina Cooney is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on stress, anxiety, family tensions, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and anger. She has five years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Tina speaks English and offers sessions to people in the UK and internationally via online formats.
Her practice is trauma-informed and she uses a range of approaches to suit different needs.
Background and approach
She draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process distressing events and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support values-led change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred work are woven into sessions when helpful, and she can introduce mindfulness exercises as part of a plan.
Tina aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through painful feelings at their own pace. She emphasises collaboration and practical steps, from grounding techniques to short behavioural experiments you can try between meetings. Sessions tend to be conversational and paced to what the person needs in the moment.
Online video calls or phone sessions are Tina’s preferred formats, though she also offers messaging options within a set 50 minute slot through the platform. That messaging time will be text-only and without camera or sound. People who choose to work together begin with a short matching process and then arrange sessions according to Tina’s schedule.
Costs vary with location and are managed through a cancellable subscription model.

How online approaches and practical therapy work together
Tina uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process traumatic events in a paced way, focusing on reducing emotional reactivity and building coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is used to help people clarify their values and take small steps towards them even when difficult thoughts or feelings remain. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her toolkit and can help people understand relationship patterns and improve how they relate to others.Choosing the right approach is something Tina treats as a shared task. She will talk with each person about their goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan if something does not fit. The early sessions are used to find what feels most helpful rather than settling on one method from the start.
Online work makes arranging therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Text-based messaging and live chat are options for shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing; note that messaging is provided within a set 50 minute slot on the platform. These formats help therapy fit around work, family life, or travel while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional support.
