Tina’s journey as a psychotherapist began in Los Angeles where she was working in the film industry and like most Californians had her own therapist. It was at this time too she found yoga – leading her to an intense 2 year yoga teacher training and setting up a successful yoga business in France. She recognised through her students that tuning in and stepping back into their bodies they were able to reconnect and begin to listen to what their bodies were saying. This understanding led Tina to move back to the Uk and begin her psychotherapy studies as she wanted to make the bridge and learn more about the mind body connection.
Since then she has studied psychotherapy for 6 years (BA Hons ; MBACP Accred) worked in the NHS as a PG Dip High Intensity Therapist, developed her own private psychotherapy practice (Youmatter.info), offered her services to various counselling services, ongoing administration services to a low cost psychotherapy agency (Freshstart psychotherapy) and most recently has collaborated in creating an online therapy service (Britishonlinetherapy.com) specifically for the Asian market where therapy is more difficult to access.
Collaborating with Rebecca for IWP Tina brings her psychotherapeutic knowledge and connections. Having worked in the NHS IAPT counselling services she understands the levels of stress working on the frontline and how this can lead to burnout which was the case for her. Her mission is to get therapy to the masses through better and more accessible well being packages something that she feels was missing from the NHS she worked within.
