About Teresa
Teresa Readhead is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, and brings seven years of professional experience to her work. Teresa focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and family conflict in a straightforward, empathetic way.
She creates a calm space where people can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. Teresa keeps sessions practical and clear. She helps clients break problems down into manageable steps and find ways to feel steadier day to day.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and narrative methods. This mix lets her match short-term skills to longer-term reflection. Conversations might include noticing unhelpful thinking, practising simple grounding exercises, or retelling hard experiences to make them easier to live with.
Teresa also supports people dealing with relationship strain, self-esteem issues, trauma and abuse, sleep or eating problems, parenting stress, and life changes. She is experienced in working with autistic clients and those coping with chronic illness or care responsibilities.
People who prefer clear, compassionate guidance tend to find her style helpful. She encourages small, doable steps and collaborates on goals so progress feels realistic. To begin, she asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions based on availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Teresa uses client-centred listening to make space for each person’s story. This means the counsellor follows the client’s lead, reflecting feelings and helping people make sense of their experience. It suits anyone who needs a non-judgemental place to speak and feel heard.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change them. It is practical and often helpful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Attachment-based ideas guide work on how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That means combining listening, skills practice and narrative ways of retelling difficult events so the client feels more in control of next steps.
The original profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel, or choose a quieter environment. Some people use shorter check-ins or audio sessions when needed; others prefer longer visual sessions for deeper conversation. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the format to suit everyday life and practical constraints.
