About Tineke
Tineke Zwinkels offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or grief. She writes simply and listens closely, helping people notice how events affect their thoughts, feelings and choices. The first conversations focus on what matters to each person and on small, practical steps forward.
With four years of professional experience, Tineke has worked with a wide range of concerns. These include trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, anger and workplace issues.
Background and approach
She also helps people facing attachment struggles, codependency, control issues, guilt and shame, and the loneliness that can follow life changes. Sessions aim to be open and non-judgemental. Tineke supports clients to make sense of difficult experiences and to practise new ways of coping.
The work often involves noticing patterns, testing small changes, and building skills that fit day-to-day life. People can expect a direct but compassionate approach. Tineke encourages self-understanding and steadier emotional responses over time.
She focuses on practical steps that increase a sense of security and self-worth. Tineke provides therapy in English and sees clients across the United Kingdom and internationally. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions that suit each person.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. That conversation can change as progress is made, so the plan is adjusted together.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit people with limited bandwidth, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
