Tina Cooney
Calm practical support for stress and trauma
About Tina
Tina Cooney works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma, family-related struggles and parenting pressures. She presents as a calm, approachable counsellor who aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Tina uses everyday language and gentle pacing so people feel understood from the first meeting.
Tina holds a BACP credential, and she brings five years of professional experience to her practice. She offers online video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs and schedules.
Background and approach
Her approach combines talking therapy with hands-on techniques that people can try between sessions. In sessions she focuses on what feels most important to each person. That might mean learning ways to manage strong emotions, practising new ways to speak about difficult family situations, or spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small changes.
Mindfulness and gentle grounding skills are introduced when they are helpful. Tina uses a mix of therapies rather than one fixed method. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking, client-centred conversation, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness.
The mix is chosen to fit the person, not a predetermined formula. Her aim is to support people who want clearer coping tools and steadier emotional balance. Sessions are practical and collaborative, with space to work through painful memories and current stresses at a pace that feels safe.

Approaches for online therapy and how they help
Tina commonly draws on acceptance and commitment therapy and attachment-based therapy alongside client-centred work. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters most to a person and taking small committed steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It can help with anxiety, stress and getting unstuck from unhelpful avoidance patterns.Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional safety. It can help people understand recurring difficulties in relationships and build different ways of connecting. Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, offering empathy and listening so the person feels heard while they make their own changes.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Tina will discuss goals and preferences and try different techniques together to see what fits. The process is collaborative, with adjustments made as progress and needs become clearer.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins or for people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
