About Tineke

Tineke Zwinkels offers calm, straightforward support for people coping with stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem.

Over four years she has helped people with trauma and abuse, addictions, panic attacks and phobias.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Evidence-based techniques often used in counselling help people understand and change patterns that cause distress. One common approach focuses on recognising links between events, thoughts and feelings and trying new responses in everyday life; this helps with anxiety, low mood and stress. Another helpful method looks at past relational patterns and attachment - it supports people who feel stuck in cycles of codependency, shame or isolation by exploring how earlier relationships shape current choices.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best, based on goals and what feels comfortable. Plans are reviewed as progress is made so the approach can shift when needed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or want to fit support around a busy day. These options make it easier to work with registered or accredited professionals from different locations.
