About Teresa

Teresa Readhead is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience working with adults. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief and loss, family conflict, anger and related concerns. Teresa focuses on practical talk and steady support rather than quick fixes.

Her sessions use clear conversation to map what matters most to each person. She listens for patterns in relationships, behaviour and thinking, and then tries ideas that can be tested between meetings. That might include noticing how thoughts feed anger, or practising skills to calm a rising response.

Teresa draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Narrative work helps some clients rewrite the stories that keep them stuck.

Clients who prefer a reflective pace will find straightforward questioning and space to think. Others get more practical tasks and checkpoints to measure small changes. Teresa aims to balance understanding with concrete steps people can use in daily life.

She works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, people follow a simple matching process and then schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapy approaches are used in online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people recognise relational patterns that can feed anger or mistrust. It is useful for people who notice repeated conflicts or fear of rejection. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Sessions help identify unhelpful thinking and test new responses that reduce frustration and reactivity. Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems and rewrite the stories that keep them stuck. It can be useful when past labels or events shape how someone behaves in relationships. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa will discuss preferences, goals and what feels manageable, and then try methods collaboratively. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the plan can be adjusted as needed. Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as these are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit conversations into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove the need to travel to appointments.
