About Tineke

Tineke Zwinkels is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and depression, and helps people dealing with addictions, relationship difficulties, anger and major life changes.

Tineke uses plain, practical conversations to help people recognise how events affect thoughts, feelings and behaviour. She guides clients to make sense of their experiences and to spot patterns that keep them stuck. The aim is to build clearer self-understanding and stronger ways of managing distressing emotions.

Sessions are based on collaboration. Tineke invites people to describe problems and then tests different ways of responding. That can include talking through memories of trauma, unpacking sources of shame or guilt, or practising ways to handle panic and phobias. She also supports people working through workplace stress and questions of life purpose.

This counsellor pays attention to attachment and codependency issues when they appear, and helps people notice how control or isolation affects relationships. Work can cover self-harm, self-love, and rebuilding confidence after loss or abuse.

Tineke accepts international clients and works in English. Practical next steps are to use the service’s matching process and arrange a first session to discuss goals and practical arrangements.

Sheet 2

How evidence-based approaches are used in remote sessions

The biography states use of evidence-based therapeutic techniques rather than a specific named method. In practice this means using structured, tested ways of working that focus on thoughts, feelings and behaviour. For example, one approach helps people map how triggers lead to anxious thoughts and panic symptoms, then practises alternative responses to reduce panic. Another common method looks at upsetting events and memories to lessen their ongoing emotional impact and to find safer ways of relating to those memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify what fits their needs and goals. That includes trying different techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting methods based on how a client responds.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, for example by avoiding travel or using shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also allows people in other countries to access a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. Practical details such as session length, timing and whether video or phone is offered should be verified during the matching and scheduling steps.
