Tina Jewell, BACP

Tina Jewell is a counsellor with 11 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and focuses on practical help for everyday struggles. Tina aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are nervous about starting therapy.

She uses straightforward, person-centred work that treats the client as the expert in their life. Sessions often look at immediate problems such as stress, anxiety, motivation, self-esteem and confidence. The therapist also supports people dealing with trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions and bipolar challenges.

Tina draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to break unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses dialectical behaviour ideas to build coping skills and emotionally focused work to look at attachment and closeness issues. These methods are used alongside a client-centred way of listening and responding to each person’s needs.

Her practice covers a wide range of topics including parenting strains, blended family issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and life-purpose questions. Tina also has experience with first responder issues, self-harm, personality disorder challenges and young adult concerns.

People meet her for both short-term problem solving and longer work on deeper patterns. She encourages practical steps and small changes that fit daily life. Tina aims to build calm, clearer thinking and more satisfying relationships over time.

How Tina’s approaches translate online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. Online sessions allow time to be heard and for the therapist to reflect what matters most to the client, helping people explore goals and strengths.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours. In remote work CBT often uses simple homework, thought records and short exercises that fit into a person's day to help reduce anxiety and low mood.

Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for regulating emotion and managing intense states. Online DBT-style work emphasizes skill teaching - for example breathing, grounding and distress tolerance - and practising those skills between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences and will adapt the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy brings practical benefits for many people. Video calls closely mirror face-to-face meetings, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day, while live chat or text-based messaging allow brief check-ins and written reflection. These flexible options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties or other commitments.
