About Teresa
Teresa Readhead is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings seven years of practice experience and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and family conflict. Teresa aims to make the first step into therapy feel less daunting and offers steady support along the way.
She keeps sessions simple and direct. Teresa creates a space where clients can talk about difficult feelings without being judged. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps them name practical next steps they can try between meetings.
Teresa draws on several well established approaches to suit different needs. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships still affect current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try small experiments that change day-to-day coping. Narrative and client-centred work help people make sense of their story and choose new ways of relating to themselves.
Her work can be useful for people dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, low self-esteem, trauma, sleep or eating concerns, and longer-term mood conditions such as depression or bipolar symptoms. Teresa is also experienced in supporting LGBT people, carers, and those facing chronic illness challenges.
If someone is unsure where to start she guides them through an initial matching process and helps set clear, manageable goals for therapy.
Approaches that shape online care
Teresa combines attachment-based ideas with cognitive behavioural techniques to guide her work. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationships influence current patterns and help people notice recurring dynamics that cause hurt. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.She also uses client-centred and narrative elements to help people tell their story in a new way and feel heard. These approaches aim to make therapy collaborative. Teresa will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and what to try first, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around busy lives by removing travel time and allowing check-ins from wherever someone is based. Different approaches lend themselves to different practical tasks - CBT often uses short between-session exercises, while narrative or attachment work can benefit from reflective weekly sessions. Session formats are not specified in the available biography, so confirm the exact options when booking. Registered or accredited professionals can help match the practical format and therapeutic approach to a person’s needs, goals and daily routine.
