About Teresa
Teresa Readhead is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has seven years of experience and offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety and major life changes. Teresa aims to make the first step feel manageable and encouraging for anyone reaching out.
Her approach is warm and down-to-earth. Teresa creates a space where clients can speak plainly about what they're carrying. She listens closely and helps people name problems and try practical ways to change unhelpful patterns.
Teresa uses several therapeutic methods that suit different needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, client-centred work to follow the client's pace, and cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. She also uses mindfulness and narrative approaches to help people find balance and new perspectives.
Common concerns Teresa supports include grief and loss, addiction, family and relationship strains, low self-esteem, sleep and eating issues, and coping with long-term health or caregiving stress. She also works with people dealing with ADHD, bipolar and depression as part of broader life challenges.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, clients use the site's Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.

How Teresa's approaches translate to online work
Teresa uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour, helping people spot repeating patterns that affect current life. Client-centred therapy means she follows the client's lead, offering steady listening and reflection that helps the person make decisions at their own pace. Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in everyday routines to reduce anxiety or improve sleep.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Teresa will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together they will choose which methods to try. This collaborative process helps match the approach to the issue, whether that is grief, addiction-related coping, relationship patterns or mood difficulties.
The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can slip into a lunch break, and conversations without video can suit days with low energy or limited bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals adapt sessions to practical needs and rhythms, aiming to make therapy realistic and usable for day-to-day life.
