About me

My name is Tina Deas and I have been running my own holistic private practice since 2008. I am a BACP registered and accredited Counsellor and Psychotherapist with over 17 years experience working with couples, individuals and therapeutic groups in various settings.  I am also a Reiki Master, Senior Registered Hypnotherapist, Certified EFT and NLP Practitioner.

My core counselling training was a mixture of Person Centred Counselling, Psychodynamic Counselling and CBT. This means that the kind of counselling I offer integrates this range of theoretical approaches, depending on your individual needs, during each session.

​Person Centred Counselling

I work in a person centred way which means that I will offer you empathy, acceptance, valuing and congruence - these core conditions foster a safe environment for you to explore your experiences, your thoughts and your feelings and empower you to make the changes that you want to.

CBT

CBT helps you to understand how your thoughts, feelings, physical feelings and behaviours are all interconnected and impact on each other. The learning you can gain from this approach will help you to identify any negative automatic thinking patterns which will be causing negative emotional and physical feelings and negative behaviours such as the avoidance of doing certain things. CBT will enable you to identify, evaluate and change dysfunctional thinking patterns and behaviours so that therapeutic changes in your feelings and physical body can then occur.

Psychodynamic Counselling

Psychodynamic counselling based in psychoanalysis fosters emotional growth. By looking at your past experiences and significant relationships we can identify your emotional and behavioural patterns and bring them into your conscious awareness. This will enable you to become more self aware have more freedom to consciously make the changes that you want to.

I created A Time For You, Counselling and Reiki to offer something more than a counselling service and to provide a more holistic approach to healing for my clients. Counselling is always at the heart of what I do, but by incorporating other treatments and techniques, I can offer my own unique combination of therapies to effectively help clients to feel better on all levels.

​Now, over 12 years later, 'A Time For You' has gone from strength to strength as a unique and successful practice where clients benefit from my combination of Counselling and additional therapies including Reiki, Hypnotherapy, EFT, Matrix Re-imprinting, Personal Coaching and Lifestyle Medicine.

Reiki

Reiki is a gentle, non invasive relaxing, healing treatment. If you are upset and worried about something in particular but it feels too daunting to sit and talk about yourself, your situation and your feelings, especially if you are already suffering with high levels of anxiety and stress, Reiki will calm and relax you as I gently help you to feel safe and enabled to express what is on your mind.

Hypnotherapy

As a senior, registered GHR practitioner, I work differently to most other hypnotherapists as I usually combine hypnotherapy with Reiki.  I have been using Reiki with my clients for over 12 years now, to provide a calming and relaxed space to facilitate deeper healing and therefore it is a natural starting point to do hypnotherapy.

Emotional Freedom Technique

EFT enables quick and painless release of negative emotions that we are holding on to in our energetic system. I can teach you how to adopt this simple technique for effective self help.

Training, qualifications & experience

I qualified as a counsellor/psychotherapist in 2005 and became accredited with the BACP in 2008. You can find me on their official register.

My core training was a mixture of Person Centred Counselling, Psychodynamic Counselling and CBT. This means that the kind of counselling I offer integrates this range of theoretical approaches, depending on your individual needs, during each session.

​I work in a person centred way which means that I will offer you empathy, acceptance, valuing and congruence - these core conditions foster a safe environment for you to explore your experiences, your thoughts and your feelings and empower you to make the changes that you want to.

I have a wide range of counselling experience working with individuals, couples and therapeutic groups and I have worked in the drug and alcohol field, for the NHS in GP Surgeries, as a partner in private practice and worked at New College as a part time lecturer teaching counselling skills to adults for 5 years.

As well as a Counsellor, I am a Reiki Master/Teacher and Practitioner a certified EFT Practitioner, a Registered and Senior Accredited Hypnotherapist (GHR) and a certified NLP Practitioner and Clinical Supervisor.

By the time I became accredited with the BACP in 2008 and validated my approach to counselling, I had already realised the limitations of counselling as a standalone therapy and became interested in energy work and the power of our subconscious mind and I went on to do further training in order to offer clients a more holistic approach to healing.

This was when 'A Time For You, Counselling and Reiki' was born.

I became very interested in the "bodymind" and how emotional pain and negative thinking can lead to physical symptoms, pain and illness.  I initially trained in Reiki healing in 2008 to get relief from my own chronic neck pain after other treatments has failed.  Self healing with Reiki relieved my neck problem strengthening my belief that our "bodymind" is an integrated system.  By treating myself with Reiki energy the emotional trauma that I had held on to energetically and was blocking my own energy flow and was causing my physical pain and suffering were released.

I went on to develop skills in the exciting and effective field of energy psychology  to integrate Emotional Freedom Technique, (EFT) and Matrix Reimprinting within my work.

EFT is sometimes call acupuncture without the needles and is a quick, painless and effective way to free negative emotions such as anxiety, depression, fears and phobias which can keep clients locked into their problems.

Matrix Re-imprinting, developed from EFT is a powerful technique which allows you to access and transform painful memories that may be holding you trapped in the past. Matrix Re-imprinting can be especially useful to help clients to resolve the emotional intensity of traumatic past events which continue to affect them in the present.

I then went on to qualify and become registered as a Hypnotherapist.  I work differently to most other hypnotherapists as I usually combine hypnotherapy with Reiki.  I have been using Reiki with my clients for over 12 years now, to provide a calming and relaxed space to facilitate deeper healing for many issues and concerns  so for me, it is a natural starting point for hypnotherapy.

I am passionate about my work as a therapist and how to facilitate my clients to heal at a deep level.

Due to my many years of training and experience and my commitment to my profession I also offer clinical supervision.  I have a BPS approved certificate in Clinical Supervision.
