Tina Jennings

Tina Jennings is an accredited registered counsellor with the NCPS who holds a BSc in Therapeutic Counselling and an advanced diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. She combines a person-centred foundation with cognitive behavioural therapy and brief solution-focused skills to support people in dealing with what is happening in the here and now.

With around a decade of practice and a broad range of life experience, Tina offers empathic, non-judgemental support and practical guidance to help clients explore solutions and find a positive way forward. She describes herself as highly empathic with a natural ability to sense what clients may be feeling, even when she has not personally lived the same experience.

Her background includes military service, which contributes to an understanding of trauma and post-traumatic stress and the long-term impact these can have. Tina has worked within the NHS delivering pastoral and spiritual care, focusing on low mood, depression, anxiety, grief and loss. She has also worked for Mind and currently works part time for a digital mental health organisation, supporting clients who are experiencing suicidal intention or thoughts and helping them find hope and a way forward.

Tina acknowledges a spiritual outlook that is not necessarily religious and maintains an open, accepting stance toward each person’s individual pathway. She understands attachment, grief and bereavement and believes that, with appropriate support from counselling, friends or family, people can eventually come to terms with and accept their losses. Tina is happy to work with English-speaking clients from both European and non-European countries and practices within an Ethical Framework. More information about the ethical framework is available on the National Counselling Society website.
