Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual client. Her approach is warm and person-focused. Conversations are guided by attachment ideas about emotional regulation, and by client-centred listening.
The aim is to name core problems and work together on steps that feel manageable. In sessions people can expect a balance of careful listening and practical reflection. Some weeks focus on understanding patterns from the past.
Other weeks focus on clear, day-to-day coping strategies for stress or panic. Tessa adapts her work to each person’s needs and preferences. She supports people dealing with abandonment, codependency, caregiver stress, domestic violence aftermath, feelings of emptiness, or difficulties with intimacy and commitment.
The pace is set by the client and by what they want to change.
How attachment-informed and person-centred therapy works online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape emotional responses. Online work with this approach helps people notice repeating patterns in relationships and learn calmer ways of reacting. It is often useful for anxiety, panic and problems with intimacy.
Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person's own experience and pace. The counsellor listens carefully without judgement and helps the client find their own solutions. This approach suits people who want supportive, non-directive space to reflect and grow.
Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different ways of working, and adjust the method according to what feels most helpful. That collaborative process is ongoing and tailored to each person's needs.
Online sessions can be done by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different situations. Video calls are good for deeper conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Text and chat can be useful between longer sessions or for people who prefer writing to speaking. These formats make therapy easier to fit around work, childcare and busy schedules.
