Teresa Readhead is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom who brings seven years of professional experience to her practice. She holds BACP registration, which shows she is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Teresa aims to make the first step easier for people who are worried about reaching out for help.

Teresa helps people manage stress and anxiety and offers support for those coping with addiction and grief.

Background and approach

She also assists people facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, sleep or eating difficulties, and wider life changes. She pays attention to how attachment, communication and past experiences shape current struggles. Her style is warm and non-judgemental.

Teresa creates space for people to speak openly about their thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical ways to cope now alongside time to look at longer patterns that keep problems going. Teresa uses a mix of approaches, including attachment-based work, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and narrative methods.

That mix lets her tailor sessions to each person’s needs, whether the priority is immediate coping skills or understanding deeper patterns. She is comfortable supporting people dealing with trauma, bereavement, parenting stress, ADHD, addiction, workplace pressure and chronic health worries. Teresa works collaboratively to set goals and revise them as progress is made.

If someone prefers a steady, listening approach with clear practical steps, Teresa can adapt to that preference.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Teresa uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and connection needs; this can help when people struggle with trust, closeness or recurring relationship patterns. Client-centred counselling is also a key element, which means sessions focus on compassionate listening and on the person’s own pace and priorities. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical steps to change mood and behaviour.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try first. She adjusts the plan as you notice what helps and what does not, so therapy stays relevant to your needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different situations. Video is useful for more in-depth conversations, phone calls suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can work well for brief reflections or check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping progress steady.
