About me
Hi, my name is Tina Berry, and I am based in Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset. I provide a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can be heard, accepted, and supported. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and the impact of addiction on families.
My approach is tailored to you, drawing on a range of therapeutic techniques to meet your individual needs. Whether you choose online counselling or walk and talk therapy, I aim to help you better understand yourself, develop healthier ways of coping, and move towards a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Training, qualifications & experience
During my career, I have gained experience in various settings which include education, social services, a local charity, and a rehabilitation Centre for clients dealing with addictions

- Counselling skills in the development of learning L2
- Advanced Certificate in Counselling theory L3
- Post Grad Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy L7
- Certificate in Cognitive-behavioural Therapy L3
- Certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling L3

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
I also offer walk and talk therapy as part of my service
Walk and talk therapy takes counselling out of the therapy room and into the outside world. This can take place almost anywhere we choose, and privacy can be maintained just by keeping a distance from other people.
A change of environment can often stimulate conversation that might not happen in the therapy room. It’s also an alternative to working online or via the phone. My clients have often shared that being outside has given them the freedom to express their thoughts and feelings in a safe and manageable way.
