About Teresa
Teresa Readhead is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience and BACP registration. She focuses on helping people who are carrying heavy stress, anxiety, grief or the impact of addiction. Teresa aims to make talking about difficult things feel more manageable for people who are nervous about taking the first step.
Her style is straightforward and warm. Sessions are intended to be a calm space where a client can say what is on their mind without judgement.
Background and approach
Teresa listens for patterns in relationships and daily life, then helps people try different ways of coping and relating. She draws on approaches that look at how early attachments shape current relationships and how thoughts and feelings influence behaviour. Practical, short-term strategies are combined with space to make sense of life events and personal stories.
Clients may use these tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood changes or cope with loss. Teresa also supports people dealing with family tensions, self-esteem struggles, neurodiversity concerns such as autism or Asperger syndrome, and long-term health or caring pressures. She works with issues around intimacy, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, and career stress.
Engagement is collaborative. Teresa encourages clear goals and regular check-ins about how sessions are going. For people needing flexible ways to access counselling, she offers a range of online session formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Online support
Choosing the best approach happens together. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and tailor the mix of methods over time. That way the plan evolves if something feels unhelpful or a different focus is needed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls support face-to-face style work when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer time to reflect between messages or need quick, written check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or medical appointments while keeping sessions consistent.
