About Teresa

Teresa Readhead is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has seven years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety and life changes. Teresa aims to make the first step feel manageable and offers steady, non-judgemental support as people begin to talk about what matters.

She focuses on practical conversations about grief, addictions and family tensions. Sessions are a place to name difficult feelings and to work out small, realistic steps forward.

Background and approach

Teresa explores how current problems link to relationship patterns and past experiences in ways that feel direct and plain. Her approach draws on attachment ideas and client-centred listening, so people are encouraged to lead the pace of work. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used when helpful to look at thoughts that keep anxiety and low mood going.

Narrative and mindfulness tools are offered to build perspective and reduce overwhelm in day-to-day life. Teresa notices practical stresses such as sleep, work and caring responsibilities, and she helps people find ways to change routines that make a real difference. She also supports discussions about identity and relationships, including LGBT concerns and intimacy-related worries.

Her style is calm, steady and focused on what a person can try between sessions. People meet Teresa for a range of issues from depression and bipolar symptoms to parenting strain and career concerns. She accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally, and she works in plain English so people can talk without jargon.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Teresa uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings. This approach helps people understand patterns in relationships, trust and closeness and can be useful for anxiety and intimacy concerns.

She also works in a client-centred way, offering empathic listening and letting the person lead the pace of sessions. That helps when someone needs space to talk things through without pressure. Teresa draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and to try concrete changes that reduce anxious or low mood symptoms.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Teresa will discuss different methods and work with each person to choose what fits their goals and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses, and she reviews it with clients to keep therapy useful.

Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is useful for full conversations and visual connection, phone calls suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can fit around busy days or provide written reflections. These options make it easier to arrange sessions around work, caring duties or travel.
