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."
