About Ina

Ina Thomson is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship strain. She works with parenting challenges, eating concerns, anger and low self‑esteem. Ina listens with respect and sensitivity to what matters most to each person.

Ina draws on a humanistic outlook that emphasises people’s creative potential and capacity to change. She blends open listening with practical tools to suit different needs. Some clients prefer a calm space to talk; others choose a more structured plan with clear steps and goals.

Her work often focuses on spotting triggers and links between strong reactions and past experiences. That can include paying attention to how the nervous system responds to stress and trauma. Ina also supports people who identify as highly sensitive and helps them make sense of overwhelming feelings.

Sessions may include examining unhelpful thought patterns and trying different behaviour strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety or panic. She aims to tailor conversations and exercises so they fit daily life and current pressures. Ina offers sessions in English and German.

Ina is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She brings three years of professional experience as a therapist in the United Kingdom and draws on several evidence‑based techniques to help clients meet their goals.

How Ina’s approaches translate to online therapy

Ina uses a humanistic base alongside focused, evidence‑based techniques. Humanistic work means providing a respectful, listening space where people can talk through what matters most and explore their values and strengths. Cognitive strategies involve noticing and challenging unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviour patterns to reduce anxiety or low mood. Work with nervous system regulation focuses on recognising triggers, understanding bodily responses to stress and practising simple regulation strategies to bring down intense reactions.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide whether to lean towards reflective listening, structured work, or a mixture of both. This shared planning helps tailor sessions to what actually helps day to day.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, reduce travel time and allow a quicker check‑in between commitments. It can also let someone continue with therapy if relocating within the United Kingdom. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist when you book so sessions fit your everyday life.
