Approaches Teresa lists
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
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to pay attention to thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations. It offers practical exercises to reduce reactivity and to cope better with anxiety, grief and ongoing emotional overwhelm.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Teresa will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide what to try. That collaborative conversation helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and workable.
Online therapy here can be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging can fit around busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting and daily routines while keeping the focus on practical support and change.
