Hi my name is Tina, I am an accredited registered counsellor with the NCPS and I have a BSc Therapeutic Counselling and an advanced diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. I have quite a lot of life experience and along with my counselling experience I can support and guide you through your own experience of what has or is happening to you and hopefully together we can come up with solutions and a positive way forward. I am a person centred counsellor incorporating CBT and brief solution focussed skills to help you to deal with what is happening in the here and now. I am also extremely empathic and understanding and have an innate sense of what the client is feeling and sensing even if I have had no personal experience of the what the client has experienced. I have a very open mind and have a non judgemental attitude to life as we are all learning on our own individual pathways and I can support you in your journey whatever your journey means to you. I have also been in the Army when I was younger and have an understanding of trauma and post traumatic stress disorder and how that can impact on life many years later. I have experience of working within the NHS as part of the Pastoral and Spiritual Care and our main work was to support our clients through low mood, depression, anxiety and also grief and loss. I have worked for Mind and also I am currently working part time for a digital mental health organisation and can help clients navigate through suicide intention and thoughts and give them hope for the future and a way forward in dealing with life. A little bit about me...I have had quite a lot of life experience, some good and some bad but I've always retained my sense of optimism and hope for the future and I have found that this attitude has kept me going in difficult times. I understand attachment, grief and loss and have had to deal with a lot of bereavements in a short space of time but I do believe with the right support, either from counselling, friends and family, a person can eventually come to terms with and accept their loss. I believe from the feedback that I have been given is that I can support my clients on their life journey, and give them empathy, compassion and help them to explore solutions and new ideas which may help them to have a different perspective on their lives. I also see myself as a spiritual person, not necessarily religious, but I believe that my spiritual beliefs helps me in the work that I do. I am happy to work with clients from both European and non European countries who are English speaking. We work within an Ethical Framework and more information can be found on the following website: https://nationalcounsellingsociety.org
