About me
Hello, I am Tina and I understand how challenging life can be especially if we have others relying on us, be it family, friends or colleagues.
My previous experience of working in a highly pressurised corporate environment highlighted the unwanted behaviours we can develop, to cope with our day-to-day stresses.
Big life events can trigger changes to our relationships or career, leaving us feeling lost, perhaps your past is still defining you, or maybe life hasn’t turned out the way you had hoped. Sometimes we just lose ourselves and our direction.
It can be difficult to share these feelings with family and friends - this is where I can offer you a warm, non-judgmental, safe space to explore and navigate any issues you are experiencing. Nothing is too small to bring.
Together we can look at what is missing, this may involve exploring unprocessed wounds or looking at coping mechanisms which may hinder your ability to live fully. Recognising our own feelings, even uncomfortable ones allow us to be our authentic self.
My integrative approach is a combination of humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive therapies, which can be tailored to your needs. I also have specialist grief and loss training. However, I believe it is the relationship which has the most healing potential, as such we work collaboratively to reflect on the difficulties and emotions you may be experiencing, in a safe and confidential environment, to create an accepting, trusting relationship. Somewhere you can speak freely without fear of judgement, and I can learn what life is really like for you.
Together we can look at patterns or behaviours which are not working for you, with a view to empowering you to make your own changes.
I offer both short- and long-term ongoing counselling, working from a calm, private room with onsite parking, on the Surrey-Berkshire border. I also see clients nationwide and globally, allowing a hybrid of settings to suit you.

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.
