Tina Hurley , BACP

Tina Hurley is a UK-based therapist with 10 years of professional experience who offers compassionate, strengths-focused support to people facing difficult life challenges. A member of BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), she combines practical techniques with an empathetic listening style to help clients manage stress, anxiety, trauma and domestic abuse, bereavement and ongoing grief, and to build motivation, self-esteem and confidence.

Tina approaches each person as the expert on their own story, helping them to recognise and draw on their existing resources while exploring new ways to move forward. She emphasises courage and collaboration as clients take the first steps toward change, offering steady support and encouragement throughout the process.

Whether someone is coping with loss, rebuilding after a traumatic event, or aiming to strengthen everyday resilience and self-belief, Tina aims to create a respectful, empowering environment that fosters practical progress and emotional healing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Tina commonly draws on attachment-based therapy, client-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in her work. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current emotional responses and helps people repair or reframe those patterns to improve connection and security. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic stance from the therapist so clients can explore their feelings, values and goals at their own pace and build self-understanding. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and learning practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change habits that get in the way of daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Tina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She partners with clients to try different strategies and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Tina is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for people balancing work, family and other commitments. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each individual.
