About Teresa
Teresa Johnston is a counsellor who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, and problems with sleep and eating. She works with people going through life changes, career shifts, health challenges, and those coping with compassion fatigue or ADHD. Teresa offers a calm, respectful space where people can talk without pressure or judgement.
She follows a person-centred way of working that puts the client's experience first. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting back what matters most. Teresa also brings mindfulness practices into sessions to help with emotional regulation, grounding, and managing racing thoughts.
Teresa has experience in both healthcare and therapeutic settings. Her training includes a Professional Diploma in Counselling and she is completing a Master's degree in Psychology at the University of Stirling. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
In conversation she focuses on clear, practical steps alongside gentle exploration. That might mean trying short mindfulness exercises, noticing unhelpful patterns, or practising different ways of talking about difficult moments. The aim is to help people find clearer direction and small changes that make day-to-day life a bit easier.
Teresa works from a compassionate, non-judgemental stance. If someone is feeling overwhelmed or stuck, she helps them sort through what is happening and decide on next steps together.
How person-centred and mindfulness approaches work online
Teresa uses person-centred counselling and mindfulness practices to help people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems and relationship worries. Person-centred work focuses on listening, reflection and supporting someone to find their own answers rather than giving advice. Mindfulness involves simple attention and breathing exercises that help reduce rumination and ease emotional reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Teresa works collaboratively to test what helps most, adjusting methods and pacing to fit each person’s needs, goals and preferences. She discusses practical steps and mindfulness exercises together so clients can choose what feels most useful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow people to practise mindfulness between meetings. It also lets the therapist and client try short, focused check-ins or longer reflective sessions depending on what suits the person’s routine and energy levels.
