About Teresa
Teresa Readhead is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings seven years of professional experience and focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and family conflict. Teresa aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space so clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. She frames the work as a collaborative process and offers steady support as people take steps toward change.
In sessions Teresa uses straightforward listening and reflective questions to help people understand what is getting in the way of feeling better. She draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural techniques and client-centred methods to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. Narrative ideas are used to help reframe painful stories and mindfulness tools are offered to manage strong emotions.
Teresa commonly supports clients with self-esteem difficulties, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a range of life changes such as bereavement or career shifts. She also works with people dealing with ADHD, bipolar and depression and with those facing chronic health challenges or caregiver stress. Codependency and communication problems are listed among her additional focus areas.
People who prefer a calm, practical style tend to find her approach helpful. Teresa encourages small, achievable steps and checks in about what is working. She invites prospective clients to reflect on what they hope to change before arranging a session.
How Teresa’s approaches translate to online work
Teresa uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when people find themselves repeating familiar but unhelpful behaviours in close relationships. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes to behaviour to reduce distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Teresa will talk through your goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try first. That decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan matches what is actually helpful.
The practitioner’s biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for brief check-ins when that suits the client. It can also make it simpler to continue work during life changes or while living abroad, and therapists will usually adapt tools and exercises so they work well in remote sessions.
