About Teresa
Teresa Johnston is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on anxiety, stress and life transitions. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what feels overwhelming. Teresa aims to help people make sense of difficult moments and find practical steps forward.
Her style is warm and collaborative. She listens first and follows the client’s pace. Sessions are grounded in respect for each person’s experience rather than quick fixes or rigid techniques.
Background and approach
Teresa uses person-centred counselling alongside mindfulness practices. That means conversations centre on the client’s priorities while mindfulness tools help with grounding and emotional regulation. These approaches can be useful for anxiety, low mood, grief and coping with big changes.
She has worked in both healthcare and therapeutic settings and brings three years of professional experience to her practice. Teresa holds a Professional Diploma in Counselling and is studying for a Master’s degree in Psychology at the University of Stirling. She is also a qualified mindfulness teacher and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
People come to Teresa for many concerns, including relationship difficulties, parenting strain, career transitions, sleep and eating worries, long-term health issues and compassion fatigue. She also supports those managing ADHD, bipolar mood fluctuations and attachment or abandonment worries. Teresa works with international clients in English and offers a range of online session formats.
If someone wants a thoughtful, steady approach that honours their pace, she will help them explore what matters and plan practical next steps.
How person-centred and mindfulness approaches work online
Teresa uses person-centred counselling, which means the conversation follows what matters most to the client. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears and helps the client explore thoughts and feelings without pressure. This approach suits people dealing with anxiety, relationship strain or identity questions.She also brings mindfulness therapy into sessions. Mindfulness includes simple practices to notice the body, breath and present moment. These techniques can reduce rumination, ease stress responses and support better sleep and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Teresa works collaboratively to identify which methods feel most helpful based on the client’s goals and preferences. She will adjust pace and tools over time so work remains practical and aligned with what the client wants to achieve.
Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of ways to connect. Clients can choose video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions for lower bandwidth needs, or live chat and text messaging for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
