About Tineke

Tineke Zwinkels helps people work through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression and addictions. She focuses on practical ways to manage anger, relationship strains and major life changes, and supports people dealing with workplace problems and feelings of isolation. Tineke is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience.

Tineke offers a straightforward, talk-based approach. She helps people notice how past events shape current feelings and behaviour, and explores what that means for daily life. Sessions include talking through reactions, identifying patterns such as codependency or control issues, and practising new ways of coping with panic, phobias or persistent worry.

She also works with the emotional aftermath of trauma, including shame, guilt and post-traumatic stress symptoms. For grief she helps people make sense of loss and find ways to carry on with meaningful day-to-day routines. Practical strategies and reflection are combined so people can build steadier coping skills.

Tineke supports people who want to understand attachment dynamics, improve self-love and manage self-harm urges with careful discussion and planning. When workplace stress or life-purpose questions come up, she helps set realistic next steps and small behaviour changes to test out.

Sessions are delivered in English and international clients are accepted. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are mentioned in the biography rather than specific modalities, so descriptions focus on common, practical methods used in talk-based work. One approach helps people trace links between past events and current feelings and behaviour, which can be useful for trauma, attachment issues and prolonged grief. It involves careful discussion, identifying patterns and testing out new responses in daily life.

A second approach uses coping skills and behavioural steps to manage intense symptoms such as panic attacks, phobias, overwhelming anxiety or workplace stress. This often means learning simple grounding exercises, planning small behavioural experiments and practising short routines to reduce reactivity.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of therapy. The counsellor will work collaboratively to agree what feels most useful based on the client’s goals and preferences, and may adjust techniques as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, travel and family commitments, or to keep appointments when time is limited. They also allow for shorter check-ins when a brief update is needed, or for sessions without video when bandwidth is an issue. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly offer these practical benefits to help maintain continuity of care.
