About Teresa
Teresa Johnston helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. She also offers support for intimacy-related worries, eating or sleeping concerns, parenting pressures, career crossroads, bipolar-related challenges, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Teresa is named up front to make it clear who you would meet.
She uses a person-centred style that puts the client’s experience at the heart of sessions. That means conversations are paced to suit the person and guided by what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Teresa also teaches mindfulness so practical breathing and awareness exercises are available when helpful. Teresa trained to a Professional Diploma in Counselling and holds BACP registration. She is completing a Master’s degree in Psychology at the University of Stirling.
These roles reflect her background in both healthcare and therapeutic settings. In sessions she aims for warmth and steady listening rather than quick fixes. Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental space where they can talk through what feels hard and try small, practical steps to feel steadier.
Teresa describes the work as collaborative - she will help you make sense of patterns and find ways to cope that fit your life. If practical tools like mindfulness are useful, she introduces them alongside open conversation and reflective listening. She works in line with professional ethical frameworks and supports people across a wide range of common and complex concerns.

Approaches Teresa lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How Teresa works online
She also uses mindfulness therapy, teaching simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve moment-to-moment coping. Mindfulness can be useful for stress, emotional regulation and managing repetitive thoughts.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Teresa takes a collaborative stance and will discuss which methods feel most helpful based on a person’s goals and preferences. She adapts the mix of conversational work and practical exercises so the therapy fits each individual.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time, and allow people to join from quieter surroundings. Some formats also suit shorter check-ins or sessions where being on camera is not needed. Registered or accredited professionals can work this way effectively, and Teresa will help match the practical set-up to what you need.
