About Teresa
Teresa Readhead is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has seven years of professional experience supporting people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and family conflict. Teresa aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and humane.
She creates a welcoming space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Sessions focus on what matters now and on practical ways to feel steadier day to day. Teresa encourages small, realistic changes that fit around family life and work.
Her approach draws on client-centred work to follow the person rather than a rigid plan. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to address unhelpful thoughts and routines. Attachment-based ideas and narrative work are woven in to look at how past relationships shape current patterns.
Teresa also uses mindfulness practices to build simple habits for better sleep and lower stress. These are short exercises intended for daily life, not lengthy meditation retreats. She balances talking through problems with gentle practical tasks between sessions.
People come to Teresa for help with low mood, relationship difficulties, parenting strain, sleep disruption and career stress. She also supports those coping with long-term health issues, grief, identity concerns and challenges around intimacy. Working together, she helps people set achievable goals and try things differently.
How therapeutic approaches and online work come together
Teresa uses client-centred listening to make conversations feel natural and led by the person rather than a strict agenda. This approach helps when someone needs space to be heard and for priorities to emerge at their own pace.She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and change routines that maintain anxiety or poor sleep. CBT tools are practical and often include small tasks to try between sessions. Mindfulness is offered as short, accessible exercises to reduce rumination and support better rest without lengthy practice commitments.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Teresa will help you and the therapist consider your goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then adapt methods as the relationship develops. That way the plan is collaborative and can change if something is not helpful.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around family, work and appointments, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Many people find this flexibility helps them keep regular sessions and practise new habits between meetings.
