About Teresa
Teresa Readhead is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings seven years of practice to her work and helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief and addiction. Teresa aims to make the first step into therapy less daunting and offers steady support as people begin to change difficult patterns.
She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about painful feelings. Teresa listens for what matters most to each person and works collaboratively to set practical goals. Sessions often focus on clearer communication, managing strong emotions and building small habits that improve day-to-day life.
Her background includes supporting people through bereavement and end-of-life concerns, and she also helps with relationship strain, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Teresa draws on a mix of approaches to match the issue at hand rather than using a single method for everyone.
Therapeutic work may include looking at how early relationships affect current patterns, practicing mindfulness to reduce anxiety, and using straightforward cognitive tools to change unhelpful thoughts. She also uses narrative techniques to help people reframe difficult experiences.
Teresa offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; confirm session options when booking. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches that suit online work
Teresa commonly uses client-centred work, attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-centred work means the counsellor listens with curiosity and follows what matters most to the person; it helps when someone needs space to be heard and understood. Attachment-based approaches look at patterns from early relationships and how they show up now, which can help with grief, intimacy issues and relationship problems. Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Teresa will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's needs, goals and preferences, and she may adapt the mix over time as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current options when booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep continuity of care if they move or travel, while the therapist and client focus on practical skills, emotional processing and steady progress together.
