About Teresa

Teresa Readhead is a counsellor with seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration, which reflects her standing with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Teresa aims to make the first step into therapy feel straightforward and manageable for people feeling overwhelmed.

She commonly helps people dealing with stress and anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and issues around addiction. She also supports those navigating relationship strain, self-esteem problems, sleep and eating concerns, career challenges, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

Teresa works with people across a wide range of other life difficulties, including parenting strain, compassion fatigue and neurodiversity-related challenges such as autism and Asperger syndrome. In sessions she focuses on creating an open, non-judgemental space. Teresa encourages people to talk through thoughts and feelings at their own pace.

She aims to listen closely and help identify small, practical steps that make daily life feel easier. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and narrative approaches. Teresa adapts methods to suit each person's needs rather than following a single formula.

Many people come to her feeling uncertain about what therapy will be like. Teresa aims to make the process collaborative and clear, so goals are agreed together and progress can be reviewed as therapy unfolds.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.

Online support

Teresa draws on attachment-based work to look at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses, which can help when trust, intimacy or abandonment issues are central. She also uses client-centred principles that focus on listening carefully and reflecting back what matters to the person, making it easier to find clarity and next steps. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and build small, practical changes that reduce anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Teresa will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and may combine approaches as needs change. This collaborative planning helps keep sessions focused and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit those who prefer to be off camera or have lower bandwidth, live chat allows short check-ins during a busy day, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
