About Tineke

Tineke Zwinkels is a counsellor who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or past trauma. She uses simple, steady support to help clients name what they are feeling and find manageable steps forward. Her approach is practical and compassionate, aimed at reducing distress and improving day-to-day functioning.

Tineke builds a calm space where clients can talk without fear of being judged. She focuses on how events affect feelings, thoughts and behaviour, and helps people spot patterns that keep them stuck.

Background and approach

Conversations are collaborative and paced to suit each person. She helps people work through grief and loss, low self-esteem, problems with motivation, and the emotional aftermath of abuse. Tineke also addresses issues such as addictions, relationship difficulties, anger and workplace stress.

She supports those struggling with panic, phobias, self-harm urges, and feelings of isolation or overwhelming guilt. Across sessions she encourages self-understanding and practical coping skills. Clients explore new ways to respond to triggers and everyday challenges.

The aim is to build a stronger sense of worth and more reliable ways of coping with change. Tineke holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential, and brings four years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. She offers sessions in English and can work with people internationally using online formats.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Tineke lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Many clients benefit from evidence-based techniques that focus on understanding thoughts, feelings and behaviour. One common approach helps people track how experiences affect their thoughts and emotions, then practise new responses to reduce anxiety and reactivity. This can help with panic, phobias and workplace stress.

Another useful approach involves working through difficult memories in a paced way so they have less power over daily life. This kind of work is often used for trauma, abuse and post-traumatic stress symptoms and aims to reduce distress and improve coping over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s needs, goals and comfort level. Plans are adjusted as progress is made and as different challenges arise.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, phone calls suit those with limited bandwidth, live chat allows quicker check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
