About Teresa
Teresa Readhead is a counsellor who works in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She has seven years of experience and offers a calm, steady presence for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and addiction. Teresa encourages open conversation and aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings.
Teresa helps people untangle relationship tensions and family conflict in straightforward language. She supports those coping with loss, changes in life, low self‑esteem and mood difficulties. She also works with people dealing with eating or sleeping problems, anger, career worries and issues around intimacy and trust.
Her practice draws on attachment-based work to look at how early connections shape current relationships. She uses client‑centred methods to focus on each person’s priorities and pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used when practical changes to thoughts and habits can reduce distress.
Teresa also brings mindfulness and narrative approaches into sessions. Mindfulness helps with grounding and stress management. Narrative work helps people make sense of their story and find different ways to live it.
She describes the first session as a chance to say what matters most and set realistic next steps. The emphasis is on collaboration so people feel involved in the direction of their work. International clients are accepted and sessions are conducted in English.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Theresa draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. That approach helps when trust, abandonment or intimacy issues are central. It focuses on connection and how interactions with others affect feelings and behaviour.She also uses client‑centred methods that keep the person’s priorities in view. This means the counsellor follows the client’s pace, listens closely and helps set goals that feel manageable. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used when practical changes to thinking and routine can reduce symptoms such as anxiety and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. She will check what helps and adapt the plan as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around a busy day and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular meetings during life changes and to maintain continuity when routines are disrupted.
