Tessa Adri-Soejoko offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or difficult life changes. She introduces a gentle, person-focused style that aims to make it easier to talk about painful experiences. Tessa writes simply and kindly, helping people find practical ways to cope and build confidence.

She uses attachment ideas to understand how early relationships shape emotional responses. That helps when panic, grief, feelings of emptiness or struggles with intimacy keep returning.

Background and approach

Tessa also follows a client-centred approach, which means sessions are shaped around each person’s pace and priorities rather than a fixed agenda. In sessions she listens for patterns such as codependency, avoidance or fear of commitment, and helps people name those patterns. Conversations may move from immediate strategies for panic and anxiety to deeper reflection on guilt, shame or past abuse.

The aim is to make both short-term coping and longer-term change possible. Tessa has six years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP. She practices in the United Kingdom and conducts work in English.

Her typical format includes regular appointments, and she adapts each meeting to what the person needs. If someone is ready to begin, the usual next step is a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions that suit the person’s schedule.

How attachment and person-centred work translate online

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect feelings and reactions today. Online sessions can use this approach to notice patterns around closeness, abandonment and trust, which helps with issues like panic, grief or intimacy worries.

Client-centred counselling focuses on following the person’s agenda and creating a respectful, non-judgemental space. In practical terms this means the counsellor listens, reflects and adjusts to what the person needs, whether that is short-term coping or exploring deeper experiences such as guilt and shame.

Finding the right way of working is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different approaches and check in about what feels most helpful. Decisions about pace, focus and techniques are made together so the work fits the person’s preferences and aims.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls are good for more conversational sessions and visual cues, phone sessions suit times with lower bandwidth or when being off-camera helps, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging lets people reflect in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments while still getting consistent support.
