About Teresa

Teresa Readhead is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She offers calm, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief and family conflict. Teresa aims to make first steps feel manageable and non-judgemental for anyone thinking about change.

Teresa creates a space where people can name difficult feelings and talk through what matters most to them. She listens for patterns in relationships and daily life that keep problems repeating. Conversations are collaborative and paced to suit each person’s comfort and goals.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how earlier relationships shape present reactions. Teresa also uses client-centred and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people try new habits and think differently about problems. Mindfulness and narrative elements support clearer thinking and calmer responses.

She has worked with a wide range of concerns, including self-esteem, parenting pressures, sleep and eating difficulties, workplace stress, and trauma. Teresa also supports people dealing with long-term conditions, caregiving strain and ageing-related worries. Her practice includes attention to attachment, abandonment and communication problems.

Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. Teresa helps set simple goals, try small experiments between sessions and review progress together. She encourages honest conversation and offers steady support while people work through change.

Approaches that inform online work and practical benefits

Teresa draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early relationships influence current reactions and patterns. This approach can be useful when worries centre on trust, closeness or repeated relationship problems.

She also uses client-centred methods that focus on listening and building a supportive space. That helps people feel heard and decide what matters to them before trying changes.

Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to break down worries into smaller steps and to try practical experiments between sessions. These tools suit anxiety, mood difficulties and unhelpful habits.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Teresa will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then shape sessions together. The plan is collaborative and can change as progress is reviewed.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer travel requirements. Online work can make shorter check-ins more feasible and can reduce disruption on a workday. Because formats were not specified in the original biography, please confirm the current session options before booking to ensure they fit with everyday life and goals.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
