Tiziana Barton , BACP

Tiziana Barton understands that searching for a therapist can feel daunting, whether it is for oneself or for a loved one. She frames the decision to seek help as an act of courage and strength, and emphasizes the importance of an initial connection between client and therapist as a foundation for successful work.

Tiziana is a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), the main professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Her practice is integrative, drawing on a range of theories and interventions so she can tailor support to each person’s situation. She works from a holistic perspective that considers mind, body and spirit together when exploring difficulties.

Her approach is grounded in the belief that a core self that is loving and creative can become disconnected through parenting patterns or traumatic experiences. Conditions such as depression, anxiety, panic attacks, addictions and relationship problems are often viewed as expressions of that disconnection. Losses like bereavement, divorce, redundancy or illness can compound those difficulties and call for focused support to work through them.

Counselling with Tiziana aims to help people reconnect with inner resources, develop fresh self-awareness and gain new perspectives in a non-judgemental way. She places value on an empowering therapeutic relationship built on trust and respect, and describes “unconditional presence” as central to healing and growth. Counselling is presented as typically short term or problem focused, while psychotherapy is described as more in-depth work over a longer period for those wanting to explore deeper meanings and feelings.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Tiziana commonly integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy, relationship difficulties and attachment-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance and the therapeutic relationship itself - it supports people who are seeking understanding, self-acceptance and a compassionate space to explore their experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thoughts and behaviors in practical ways and is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and coping with difficult life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tiziana works collaboratively with clients and with other licensed professionals when appropriate to identify which methods best match a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and adapts interventions over time as the work progresses.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - offer practical flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around everyday commitments, allow continuity of care when travel is difficult, and provide different ways for people to engage so the therapeutic process can suit individual comfort and communication styles.
