About Teresa
Teresa Readhead is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She offers a calm, non-judgemental presence for people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. Teresa emphasises straightforward support and practical steps rather than jargon. She has seven years of professional experience in counselling and related work.
Teresa helps people who are managing addictions, family conflict and relationship difficulties. She also supports those dealing with low self-esteem, sleep or eating problems, and the emotional strain that comes with illness or caring roles. Her work includes attention to more complex issues such as trauma and attachment-related concerns.
Her style is warm and client-led. Teresa aims to build an open space where people can talk through difficult thoughts and feelings without feeling judged. She listens for the patterns that keep someone stuck and helps them try small changes that can feel achievable.
Therapeutic approaches she uses include client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, attachment-informed perspectives, mindfulness techniques and narrative ways of thinking about problems. These are adapted to fit each person rather than applied as one-size-fits-all remedies.
People come to Teresa for help with things like coping with bereavement, managing anxiety, navigating family stress, or rebuilding after addiction. She encourages practical coping strategies alongside reflection about past experiences and relationships.
How Teresa adapts therapy approaches to online work
Teresa draws on client-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural ideas to guide online sessions. Client-centred work focuses on listening, acceptance and following the person's lead to help them find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural ideas break problems into thoughts, feelings and actions, which can be useful for managing anxiety, mood and unhelpful habits.She also uses attachment-informed thinking to understand how past relationships shape current patterns. This helps when people want to make sense of repeated difficulties in relationships or with intimacy. Teresa treats approach choice as a collaborative process and will work with each person to find what makes sense for their goals and preferences.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy lives and fewer travel demands. Online work can make scheduling across different time zones manageable, which is helpful for international clients. The precise session formats available with Teresa should be confirmed before booking so people know what to expect and can pick arrangements that fit their daily routines.
