About Teresa
Teresa Readhead is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has seven years of professional experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflict, grief and loss, and related concerns such as self-esteem and relationship difficulties.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. She prefers to listen first, so she can understand what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on what someone wants to change and on small, practical steps to manage day-to-day problems.
Teresa uses methods drawn from several approaches. She draws on attachment ideas to look at patterns in relationships, cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking, and client-centred ways of helping people be heard. Mindfulness and narrative work are also part of her practice when they fit the client’s goals.
Typical sessions involve talking through recent situations, noticing patterns, and trying practical exercises between meetings. She pays attention to how past experiences affect current feelings and behaviour, and she helps people test new ways of responding in everyday life.
Teresa encourages a steady, step-by-step pace. She aims for clear goals and simple tools clients can use after a session. If someone wants to begin, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at the patterns people form in close relationships and how those patterns shape feelings and reactions today. It can help when relationship fears or abandonment issues affect day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is often used for anxiety, stress and low mood. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre and uses careful listening to help someone make sense of their concerns and choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process may include mixing elements from different approaches as suitable for your situation.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. In general online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to keep continuity when someone moves or travels. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can explain which session styles will work best for practical reasons like quieter surroundings, less video use, or shorter sessions to fit a lunch break.
