About Tessa
Tessa Adri-Soejoko is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. She welcomes clients who are ready to take steps towards change and seeks to offer steady, non-judgemental support during that process. Her approach is warm and collaborative, and she aims to help people feel understood while they work on practical goals.
With six years of experience, Tessa draws on client-centred counselling to keep the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. She also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationships shape emotional responses and patterns in adult life. Together these approaches guide conversations about core issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency and intimacy-related problems.
Tessa routinely helps people manage grief, depression, panic and the strain of caregiving. She also works with concerns like domestic violence, divorce and separation, isolation and finding life purpose. Sessions focus on exploring feelings, identifying recurring patterns and building small practical steps for coping and change.
Her style is adaptive and sensitive; she invites clients to reflect on deeper life disturbances or to set concrete, achievable goals. The work is collaborative, with an emphasis on trust, respect and compassion. People who value a gentle, relational way of working may find her approach helpful.
Initial steps involve a short matching questionnaire followed by scheduling according to therapist availability. Choosing to begin is framed as a first, courageous step towards clearer direction and more manageable day-to-day life.
How attachment and person-centred methods work online
Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationships shape emotional responses and patterns. Online conversations can help identify those patterns and practise new ways of relating and self-soothing. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the client's concerns so sessions become a space to make sense of feelings and decide next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which mix of attachment ideas and person-centred listening best fits each person's needs, goals and preferences. This is reviewed together as goals and understanding evolve.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuity of care when schedules change, while conversations continue to focus on building trust, noticing patterns and practising different ways of managing difficult feelings.
