Tina Hurley

Tina Hurley is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years of professional experience and a BACP accreditation. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger and addiction, and supports those facing grief, trauma and relationship difficulties. Tina describes the client as the expert of their own story and aims to work alongside them with respect and encouragement.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. Sessions are used to talk through immediate concerns and to build skills for everyday life. Tina draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot thought and behaviour patterns, and she uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current responses.

She also offers client-centred listening that aims to make people feel heard and understood. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify small, achievable steps when someone feels stuck. Mindfulness methods are introduced to help regulate emotion and reduce reactivity.

Tina often supports people coping with life changes such as bereavement, separation, or illness, and those dealing with body image, parenting strain and workplace stress. She works with clients who are navigating ADHD, attachment issues, autism and complex co-morbidity, among other concerns.

Tina encourages a collaborative process where goals are set together. The emphasis is on practical strategies, steady progress and drawing on personal strengths. To begin, people are invited to reflect on what they want to change and to take the next step toward support.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Tina commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred and Attachment-Based approaches. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns of behaviour, which can reduce anxiety and anger. Client-Centred work focuses on listening, understanding and building the person’s own resources to make change. Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationships shape current reactions and help identify safer ways to relate and respond.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as priorities shift and progress is made.

Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break or removing the need to be on camera. Registered and accredited professionals often use these options to help therapy fit day-to-day routines rather than interrupt them.
