Ina Thomson , BACP

Ina Thomson is a United Kingdom based therapist who brings a thoughtful, person-centered approach to supporting people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, depression, trauma, and related challenges. She is a UK-licensed practitioner with three years of professional experience and holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates membership in the national professional body for counselling and psychotherapy.

She works from a humanistic framework, believing in each person's creative potential and capacity for change, and combines that outlook with practical, evidence-informed techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Her training also includes work with trauma and nervous system regulation, so much of her practice focuses on identifying triggers, understanding strong emotional reactions, and developing tools to manage stress responses.

Ina adapts the style and structure of sessions to meet individual needs, offering either a reflective listening space or a more structured, goal-oriented plan with practical strategies for symptom relief. She has experience with highly sensitive people and offers sessions in both English and German, tailoring therapy to each client's preferences and goals.

Evidence-informed approaches for online support

Ina uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients spot and challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns, offering practical tools to reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, low mood, and related concerns. She also works with trauma-informed nervous system regulation, helping clients identify triggers, understand intense reactions rooted in past overwhelm, and develop skills to calm and manage physiological responses.

Her practice is collaborative - finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Ina works together with each client to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods over time so therapy remains aligned with what is most helpful.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for people to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations while keeping the focus on consistent, effective therapeutic work.
