About Ina
Ina Thomson helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and other hard life moments. She works with issues such as trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, eating concerns, anger and coping with life changes. Ina speaks English and German and brings a calm, attentive presence to sessions.
Ina draws on three years of professional therapy experience alongside many years of personal work on growth and change. She follows a humanistic outlook that trusts a person’s capacity to grow.
Background and approach
In practice she adapts the session to fit each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. Her work often focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns. She uses techniques that challenge negative thinking and supports regulation of the nervous system for people affected by trauma.
Sessions can range from open listening to goal-focused work with practical tools for stress and overwhelm. Ina pays attention to triggers and how strong emotional reactions link to earlier overwhelming experiences. She also has experience with people who identify as highly sensitive and can tailor pacing and boundaries accordingly.
Her style aims to balance compassion with clear, achievable steps forward. People can expect a collaborative plan that reflects their needs and priorities. Ina emphasises small, manageable changes and gradual steps toward greater self-acceptance and confidence.
If you prefer to work in English or German, she can hold sessions in either language.

How Ina works online
She also works with nervous system regulation after trauma. That means learning simple grounding and breathing exercises, recognising triggers and developing steps to calm strong reactions so daily life feels more manageable.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then try methods that fit. If something does not suit, adjustments are made together until the work feels right.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel. It can also let people choose quieter settings, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when days are busy. Registered or accredited professionals aim to make therapy fit everyday life while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional understanding.
