Tina Elliston, NCPS

Tina Elliston is a counsellor, psychotherapist and life coach based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She maintains a small caseload to allow focused, individualized care and to build a clear understanding of each person's needs. Her practice blends counselling skills with mindfulness, cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused methods to support clients in setting goals and developing practical coping tools. Tina frames therapy as collaborative - clients set the goals and she helps to create a plan that fits their pace and lifestyle, whether that means working in short, manageable steps or exploring deeper issues over time.

She holds the NCPS credential, a professional qualification that reflects training in counselling and psychotherapy, and has completed additional diplomas in areas including ADHD, autism, attachment theory, bereavement, bipolar disorder, couples counselling, relationship psychology, inner child work, life coaching, mindfulness, narcissism, perinatal mental health and young people’s mental health. Tina draws on her background in nursing and midwifery and experience with fertility, pregnancy, baby loss and birth trauma when supporting people through reproductive and perinatal difficulties.

Tina has particular experience working with women and those facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, sleep difficulties, stress, body image concerns, relationship strain and work-life pressures. She also supports people with grief, parenting, ADHD, bipolar disorder, intimacy and relationship issues, anger, career concerns, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes. Appointments are available via video, phone, live chat or text messaging, and she accepts international clients. Tina aims to be warm and approachable while offering practical exercises, worksheets and reading recommendations to help clients build awareness and move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online support tailored to your needs

Tina integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person from their own perspective and creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where goals are set collaboratively; this approach is helpful for building self-awareness, confidence and clearer communication. CBT offers practical strategies to identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and is often used to address anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties and stress.

She also incorporates mindfulness techniques to help people develop present-moment awareness and coping skills for overwhelming emotions. Together these approaches are shaped to fit each person - Tina works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best suit their needs, goals and preferences and to adapt the pace and focus of sessions over time.

Online therapy with Tina is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit work, family and health needs. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations, reduce travel time and allow for more consistent scheduling, so people can engage in meaningful therapeutic work in a format that feels manageable.
