About Teena
Teena Quinn is an ACA counsellor with more than 10 years of professional experience. She brings practical, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Teena often draws on her own lived experience of chronic illness to relate to clients who are juggling health challenges and life changes.
Her approach is flexible and person-focused. She listens first, then helps people set achievable goals. Sessions tend to be conversational and straightforward, with a focus on what will help day to day. Teena uses tools from therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to manage unhelpful thoughts and build routines that support rest and sleep.
Attachment-based ideas and client-centred principles also shape the work. Teena pays attention to how relationships and past experiences affect current patterns. She supports people through grief, intimacy issues, addiction and parenting strain with plain language and practical steps.
Having worked with a wide range of communities, including time supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, Teena is experienced in adapting her style to different backgrounds and needs. She aims to treat each person with dignity and respect while helping them find strategies that fit their life.
If someone wants help with sleep and rest, Teena can talk through routines, coping techniques and ways to reduce sleep disruption. She encourages small, manageable changes and ongoing collaboration about what’s working.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety and making practical life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers structured strategies for sleep, mood and coping with anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy issues and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teena will explore goals, preferences and what has helped in the past, then suggest approaches to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the session formats before booking as the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue therapy while managing health conditions or mobility limits. Discussing routines and sleep strategies online can be as practical and action-focused as in-person work, with adjustments made to suit each person’s day-to-day situation.
