Tina Elliston , NCPS

Tina Elliston is a counsellor, psychotherapist and life coach based in the United Kingdom who brings a focused, compassionate approach to helping individuals navigate stress, anxiety, grief and complex life changes. With five years of professional experience and the NCPS credential, she draws on counselling skills, mindfulness practice and cognitive behavioral techniques to tailor a plan around each person’s goals and pace. She keeps her caseload intentionally small so she can invest time in understanding each client and offering personalised support that fits into everyday life.

Tina works collaboratively, inviting clients to set the goals and decide the pace of work. Sessions can be structured in short, manageable steps with regular check-ins, worksheets and reading suggestions to build awareness and practical coping tools. Her background includes additional diplomas in ADHD, autism, attachment theory, bereavement, bipolar disorder, couples counselling, relationship psychology, inner child healing, life coaching, mindfulness, narcissism, perinatal mental health and young people’s mental health, which inform a broad and flexible practice.

Prior to counselling Tina trained and worked as a nurse and midwife, and she uses that clinical experience to support people facing fertility difficulties, pregnancy loss, birth trauma and other women’s health concerns. She also has substantial experience in bereavement work and supporting new parents and partners through the emotional and relational changes that follow childbirth. Tina aims to create a warm, approachable space where people can explore sensitive issues, develop communication skills and take practical steps forward when life feels overwhelming.

Approaches and online therapy that fit your life

Tina integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness approaches in her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals and priorities guide the process and the therapist offers empathetic listening and reflection. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies and skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood or sleep difficulties. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and build emotional resilience, which can be useful for stress, anger and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Tina treats it as a collaborative process. She will work with clients to explore their needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods over time so the work stays relevant and effective for each individual.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage from home or another convenient setting. This flexibility can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while maintaining continuity of care with a trusted therapist.
