About Teresa
Teresa Readhead is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, addictions and family concerns. Teresa also supports people facing changes such as relationship strain, parenting challenges and issues connected to self-esteem and sleep.
Her style is straightforward and person-focused. Teresa listens to what matters to each client and talks things through in plain language. Sessions look at patterns in relationships and daily routines, and introduce practical ideas to make small changes that add up.
Teresa draws on attachment-informed work to understand how past relationships affect current ones. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Narrative and mindfulness approaches help people reframe difficult stories and develop simple present-moment coping skills.
People come to her for a range of concerns, including blended family issues, communication problems and coping with life changes. Teresa supports clients facing health-related stress, caregiver strain, and challenges linked to autism or attachment difficulties.
Teresa works collaboratively, setting clear goals and reviewing progress together. She describes practical steps between sessions so people can try out new ways of relating and notice what makes a difference. To begin, people are invited to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. In practice this means noticing patterns of closeness and distance, and trying different ways of connecting that suit your blended household. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and short plans to change unhelpful thinking and everyday routines.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Teresa will work with the client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative conversation and plans are reviewed as progress is made.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. Some people prefer not to use video and choose other ways to take part; others find being on camera helpful for practising new interaction skills. Check which formats are offered when you book so you can pick what suits your routine.
