About Teresa
Teresa Johnston is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with stress and anxiety, relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem and life changes, along with issues such as intimacy, sleep and eating concerns. Teresa also lists support for ADHD, bipolar and compassion fatigue among her focus areas.
She uses a person-centred approach, which means sessions are guided by what matters most to the client. As a mindfulness teacher she offers practices to help notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them. Teresa aims to listen without judgement and to help people make sense of difficult feelings.
Teresa’s background includes work in healthcare and therapeutic settings. She holds a Professional Diploma in Counselling and is completing a Master’s degree in Psychology at the University of Stirling. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP.
In a typical session she will focus on present concerns and how they affect everyday life. Conversations may include exploring communication patterns, reactions to stress, or practical steps for coping with tiredness and overwhelm. Mindfulness exercises can be introduced if they suit the person’s needs.
Teresa accepts international clients and offers sessions in English. She uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and session fees vary with location. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first appointment.
How client-centred and mindfulness work online
Teresa draws on person-centred counselling and mindfulness teaching in her online work. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening and reflecting what someone brings, helping them clarify their feelings and priorities. This approach suits people dealing with anxiety, relationship worries, grief or low self-esteem who want a conversational, supportive setting.Mindfulness teaching offers practical exercises to notice thoughts, breath and bodily sensations. These practices can help reduce reactivity to stressful moments and support better sleep or calmer responses in social situations. Mindfulness is offered alongside conversation rather than replacing it.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Teresa will check in about what helps, try different techniques, and adjust the focus based on the client’s goals and preferences. The client and counsellor decide together how much time to spend on exercises versus talking.
Session formats are not detailed in the profile, so please confirm which online options are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let someone choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when that feels better, helping therapy fit more easily into everyday life.
