Tina Jennings
Warm counsellor offering practical, person-centred support
About Tina
Tina Jennings is a counsellor who blends person-centred care with practical therapy tools. She works to understand each person's experience and to help them find realistic steps forward. Tina holds NCPS accreditation and has ten years of experience supporting people through hard times.
She draws on cognitive behavioural approaches to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. That helps when anxiety, low mood or sleeping problems are causing day-to-day difficulties. She also uses attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas to look at how relationships and early bonds shape current feelings.
Background and approach
Tina has worked in both the NHS pastoral and spiritual care services and for charities such as Mind. That background means she is used to supporting people through depression, grief and anxiety. She also has experience in helping people facing bereavement, trauma, addiction and long-term stress.
Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She aims to listen closely and reflect what she hears, then work with each person to try practical strategies that suit their life. Sessions focus on what is most pressing in the here and now and on small steps that can make a difference.
Tina can support people with issues such as relationship strain, career stress, compassion fatigue and questions about identity, including LGBT matters. She offers a calm, hopeful presence and practical ideas to help people move towards clearer choices and better day-to-day coping.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds shape current emotions and relationships. It helps people understand patterns that repeat in adult life and can be useful for issues tied to trust, abandonment or attachment difficulties.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. It is practical and often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and coping with life changes.
Emotionally-focused ideas look at the way feelings guide behaviour in close relationships and aim to increase emotional understanding and regulation. This approach can help when relationship patterns or intense emotions are causing distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means the plan can change if something isn’t working.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a near face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into busy days or need less bandwidth, live chat works for shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options provide flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life.
