Just as our psychological and physiological development is naturally diverse, so human sexual orientation is various.

Whether coping with "coming out", working out one's own sexuality, or experiencing problems, having experiences different from the majority can be exacerbated by the additional distress of not knowing where one can share, explore, and work through these things safely.

It can also be helpful to find respectful space where alternative relationship(s) are not viewed as necessarily problematic.

I offer a respectful space where counselling supports self development, assists with relationship issues, and holds alternative sexualities in equal regard.

In addition to everyday issues I have worked with bereavement by suicide, problems in polyamory, lesbian parenting, gender transition in lesbian and gay relationships, substance abuse and self harm

Things People Say About Working with Tina

"After years of low self esteem and bouts of depression I got to the stage that I had to do something as I was tired of suffering and constantly blaming myself in a vicious circle.

Now looking back I wish that I had done it far earlier, but maybe had never got the right time before.

I was surprised at a lovely warm friendly atmosphere. Tina was lovely and I felt I had known her all my life.

I had negative feelings caused by an abusive childhood that were deeply affecting my adult life; as you may have noticed I mentioned that in a past tense! Within weeks the change in me was immense - I had forgiven my mother after 38 years of suffering and mental isolation (feeling unloved).

‘ Have no idea how it works but it does!

Also the issue of my destructive relationship was dealt with – the problems being on my partner’s side not mine. Everything is much clearer now in my mind.

It was refreshing to be able to openly talk about my sexual diversity - B.D.S.M.

One thing that is very important to me that I didn’t want fixed!

All in all I have a lot to be thankful for – this experience has given me contentment and a much better outlook on life."
