Tina Jennings , NCPS

Tina Jennings is an accredited registered counsellor with the NCPS who brings a decade of professional experience and formal training to her work, including a BSc in Therapeutic Counselling and an advanced diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. She practices from a person-centered foundation, blending cognitive behavioral techniques and brief solution-focused skills to address what is happening in the here and now while honoring each personâs individual pathway.

Colleagues and services have seen Tina work across a range of settings, including pastoral and spiritual care within the NHS, voluntary sector work with Mind, and a current part-time role in a digital mental health organisation. Earlier in life she served in the Army, which contributes to her understanding of trauma and how post-traumatic responses can affect people years after events occur. That varied background informs her ability to support people through low mood, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and complex life challenges.

Tina describes her approach as deeply empathic and non-judgmental, holding an open-minded and hopeful stance. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, bereavement, relationship difficulties, addiction, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, career challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and issues related to self-esteem and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, family of origin concerns, divorce and separation, domestic violence, dissociation, eating-related problems, and caregiver stress. She works within an ethical framework and aims to help people explore new perspectives, practical coping strategies, and ways forward.

Therapeutic Approaches for Effective Online Support

Tina Jennings blends client-centered work with targeted techniques to support online therapy. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the personâs experience and creating a non-judgmental, empathic environment where clients can explore feelings and choices; it is helpful for issues involving self-esteem, life transitions, and relational concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical, skills-based strategies to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new coping behaviors, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, and can be useful for attachment difficulties, abandonment concerns, and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time so the approach fits the client rather than the other way around. This partnership helps clarify priorities and guides the therapeutic plan.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and integrate therapy into busy lives while working with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt methods to the online setting.
