About Ina
Ina Thomson is a counsellor who helps people facing stress and anxiety, including panic disorder and panic attacks. She supports those dealing with grief, low self-esteem, relationship strain and challenges around parenting and family life. Her approach aims to help people feel steadier and more able to cope with everyday pressures.
Ina listens with care and adapts conversations to each person. She works from a humanistic perspective that starts with a belief in people’s capacity to change. Some sessions are open and reflective, while others are more structured and goal-focused depending on what an individual needs.
Her work often looks at how strong reactions are triggered and how past overwhelming experiences link to present stress. She uses techniques to challenge negative thinking and to change unhelpful patterns of behaviour. Regulation of the nervous system is part of the practical work for those experiencing intense anxiety or panic symptoms.
Ina has three years of professional experience as a therapist and holds BACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She offers sessions in English and German for people based in the United Kingdom.
In sessions clients can expect a blend of listening, practical tools and gentle challenge. The aim is to build skills that help with anxiety, panic, relationships and life changes. Ina encourages small, manageable steps toward clearer thinking and steadier emotional responses.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Ina describes work grounded in a humanistic framework, which focuses on recognising each person’s strengths and creative potential. In practice this means the counsellor listens deeply, reflects what she hears back, and helps clients explore values and choices that matter to them.She also uses techniques that challenge negative thoughts and unhelpful behaviour patterns. These strategies help people notice and shift automatic thinking that fuels anxiety, panic and low mood, and are useful when building concrete coping skills.
Ina works with regulation of the nervous system as part of her approach to anxiety and trauma-related responses. This involves learning simple exercises and routines to reduce the intensity of sudden panic or stress reactions and to improve day-to-day calm.r>
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ina will discuss options with each person and tailor work to their goals, practical needs and preferences rather than applying a single method to everyone.

It also gives flexibility to choose a quieter time or a session that fits around work or family commitments.
