Tinu Thomas Our Online Mixed-Race Counsellor
Tinu Thomas is an accredited mixed-race Counsellor/Psychotherapist, who trained in London at the prestigious Regents College School of Psychotherapy and Counselling, where she was very much a minority.
Her training was almost as long as that of a doctor of medicine but the hard work paid off and Tinu is an Individual Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and an Accredited Member of the UKCP (United Kingdom Counselling and Psychotherapy).
Her area of expertise is in cross-cultural counselling, addictions, couples, relationships and bereavement.
Tinu has worked in England and Africa and presently has her own private practice working with mixed-race individuals and groups.
As well as contributing to various BBC radio shows Tinu also appeared on BEN TV earlier this year as a guest Psychotherapist and Counsellor.
A member and supporter of Intermix for many years Tinu is here to help members find their own solutions and work through problems.
Tinu Says:
'We are multi-faceted and complex beings and perhaps the questions of who we are come up for mixed-race individuals in a different way. We all live through complex experiences, yet our needs are simple. To be respected, to be creative, to be useful and to be seen and accepted for whom we are'
'Talking to a Counsellor/Psychotherapist is a good way to work through problems. A therapeutic relationship can't change the past, but it can support us to come to terms with the experiences we have lived and can make a difference to our future.'
