About Teresa
Teresa Readhead is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has seven years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and family conflict. Teresa aims to create a calm space where clients can speak openly without judgement and feel heard from the first session.
She works in a straightforward, person-focused way. Teresa listens to what matters most and helps people set clear, manageable goals.
Background and approach
Conversations often focus on practical steps for coping with difficult feelings and daily pressures. Teresa draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses.
Narrative and mindfulness approaches are used to help clients reframe stories about themselves and develop present-moment coping skills. Sessions balance reflection and action. Some people want to understand where old patterns come from.
Others prefer short-term tools to manage anxiety or cravings. Teresa adapts the pace to each person’s needs and priorities. Her additional work includes supporting people with self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting concerns, compassion fatigue and long-term health challenges.
She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Teresa works online
Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Teresa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try and how quickly to move between reflection and practical exercises.
The practical benefits of online therapy often include fitting sessions around work, caregiving or other commitments, and reducing time spent travelling. Some people find online conversations easier when they want a shorter check-in or when less visual focus helps them think clearly. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to make sure the arrangements fit your routine and needs.
