About Teresa
Teresa Johnston is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She helps with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, low self-esteem, parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, and challenges linked to ADHD and bipolar. Teresa also offers support for coping with natural or human-caused disaster and for those dealing with chronic illness, caregiving strain, or cancer-related worries.
Teresa uses a person-centred style that puts the client's experience at the heart of sessions. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space and listens closely to what feels most important to each person. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual's needs rather than following a fixed programme.
She draws on mindfulness techniques to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. Mindfulness practice is used to build steadiness, reduce reactivity, and support clearer decision making in everyday life.
Teresa has three years of professional experience and holds a Professional Diploma in Counselling. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and is completing a Master’s degree in Psychology at the University of Stirling.
Her background includes work in healthcare and therapeutic settings, which informs a pragmatic and empathetic way of working. If someone wishes to begin, they follow the platform's matching and booking steps to arrange an initial session.
How Teresa's approaches work online
Teresa practises person-centred counselling, which means she focuses on understanding each person's perspective and responding with empathy and respect. In practice this looks like open conversation, reflective listening, and working together to clarify what matters most for change.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts, emotions and bodily sensations without being driven by them. Mindfulness skills are useful for managing anxiety, reducing reactivity, and improving attention during stressful periods.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Teresa will discuss goals, preferences and life circumstances and then suggest ways of working that suit the individual. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as therapy progresses.
