About Tineke
Tineke Zwinkels is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those dealing with addiction, relationship strain, anger and major life changes.
She talks with clients about how past events and current problems shape emotions, thoughts and behaviour. Conversations aim to make those links clearer so people can make different choices. That approach is practical and focused on understanding what is happening day to day.
Tineke helps people name painful feelings and the patterns that keep repeating. That can include attachment struggles, codependency, control issues, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. She also covers panic attacks, phobias, post-traumatic stress and workplace stress.
Sessions work on building self-understanding and on small steps that change how people respond. Clients can develop clearer boundaries, steadier self-worth and more confidence in decision making. The emphasis is on noticing patterns and trying new responses in real life.
She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first session through the online booking option.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on understanding thoughts, feelings and behaviour. One common approach is helping people link past events to present reactions by talking through patterns and triggers. This helps when anxiety, grief or trauma shape everyday responses. Another approach work is short-term problem-focused work that identifies small, practical steps to change unhelpful habits. That can help with panic, workplace stress, or codependency-style patterns where people put others first.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor and client decide together which methods to try based on current problems, goals and personal preference. The process is collaborative and adjusted as needed if something does not feel helpful.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm which session types are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also use fewer technical demands if someone prefers phone conversations rather than video. Ask about available formats when arranging the first appointment.
