Tina Hurley
Calm, practical therapy that builds your strengths
About Tina
Tina Hurley is a counsellor with ten years of practice in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, and she focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, trauma and bereavement. Tina writes plainly and offers a steady, supportive presence for people ready to make changes.
She aims to treat each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on practical steps and on building strengths you already have.
Background and approach
She invites people to name their priorities and works with them at a comfortable pace. Tina uses a mix of approaches depending on what a person needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and on client-centred listening to make space for your story.
Cognitive work can help with anxious or low mood thoughts, and solution-focused strategies keep conversations goal oriented. In practice, sessions often include reviewing what’s most urgent, noticing patterns that cause distress, and trying out small changes between meetings. She also supports people coping with chronic health issues, caregiver stress, body image and addictions as part of broader life challenges.
The aim is clearer thinking and more usable tools. People come for work-related stress, parenting strain, eating or sleeping difficulties, career uncertainty, anger and relationship problems. Tina also supports those dealing with bereavement, compassion fatigue, ADHD and the impact of trauma.
She works with LGBT concerns and with a wide range of attachment and communication issues.

Approaches that suit online therapy
Tina commonly uses attachment-based work to look at how past relationships shape current reactions and connection patterns. This approach can help with relationship worries, abandonment issues and communication problems.She also works in a client-centred way, which means sessions prioritise listening, acceptance and following what matters most to the person in front of her. That can be useful for people who need a steady, non-judgemental space to talk through grief, stress or identity concerns.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is another tool she uses to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT is practical and problem-focused, and it often helps with anxiety, low mood and coping with daily stressors.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Tina will discuss different methods and help decide what fits your needs, goals and preferences. The plan can change as you make progress and discover what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, or when written reflection feels most comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and busy schedules while keeping the focus on meaningful change.
