Tina Jennings , NCPS

Tina Jennings is an accredited, registered counsellor with NCPS and holds a BSc in Therapeutic Counselling as well as an advanced diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. She draws on ten years of professional experience and a breadth of life experience to support people working through difficult situations and transitions.

Tina practices from a person-centered foundation, integrating cognitive behavioral techniques and brief solution-focused skills to address current challenges. She aims to help clients identify practical steps and new perspectives that can ease distress and promote forward movement. Her approach is marked by empathy, an open-minded and nonjudgmental stance, and a consistent focus on the client’s immediate needs.

Earlier service in the Army informs her understanding of trauma and how post-traumatic stress can affect life many years later. She has worked within NHS Pastoral and Spiritual Care supporting people with low mood, depression, anxiety, and bereavement, and has provided services for Mind. Tina currently works part time for a digital mental health organisation where she supports people navigating suicidal thoughts and helps them find hope and pathways forward.

Tina describes herself as spiritually aware rather than religious, and she brings optimism and compassion to her therapeutic work. She understands attachment, grief, and loss and is committed to helping people explore solutions, build resilience, and discover different perspectives on their lives. NCPS is noted as her professional registration (NCPS).

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Tina works from several well-established approaches that translate effectively to remote sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current trust, intimacy, and emotional regulation - it can be helpful for attachment issues, abandonment, and relationship difficulties.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client’s experience, offering empathy, acceptance, and active listening so the client can explore values, identity, and choices at their own pace - it is useful for self-esteem, life transitions, and existential concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, offering practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and cope with stress and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Tina treats this as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify approaches that match their goals, preferences, and needs, adjusting methods over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are delivered - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or to access support from home. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods to provide continuity of care, practical strategies, and emotional support without requiring in-person visits.
