Tina Cooney

Tina Cooney is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and parenting challenges. She describes herself as warm and approachable and focuses on making conversations straightforward and useful. Tina works in English and accepts clients internationally from the United Kingdom.

Tina holds a BACP credential, and she has five years of professional experience. She practises an integrative approach, bringing together methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness, acceptance-focused work and attachment-informed thinking. She also has a diploma in mindfulness and a certificate in trauma rewind therapy, which she uses where relevant.

Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative. Tina uses exercises, short techniques and reflective conversation to help people notice patterns, try new ways of responding and manage overwhelming feelings. She pays attention to how past relationships affect current reactions and to how day-to-day habits can be changed for better balance.

Tina prefers online video calls or phone sessions, and she also offers message work on the platform. Messaging sessions are scheduled for a set 50 minute slot and take place with camera and sound off while typing. Prospective clients should confirm current session options when booking.

Her focus includes parenting strain, care-related stress, attachment and relationship difficulties, and responses to trauma or abuse. Tina aims to support people as they take practical first steps toward more stable routines and clearer communication.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Tina commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. ACT encourages people to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them, and to take small actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety and avoidance. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and to build steadier daily routines, which is useful for stress and parenting strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tina will discuss options and try methods collaboratively, adjusting techniques to the client's needs, goals and preferences. Clients can expect to try short exercises, reflection and practical strategies together to see what helps most.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into busy days and keeping continuity when in-person meetings are difficult. Tina offers video calls and phone sessions and also provides a scheduled message option on the platform; messaging sessions take place in a set 50 minute slot with camera and sound off while typing. If you need a particular session format, confirm the current options when booking so arrangements match your daily routine.
