About Teresa
Teresa Johnston is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with young adults and others facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem, and life changes.
Teresa uses a person-centred style that focuses on listening and understanding. Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual. She also teaches mindfulness and brings simple, practical techniques into sessions to help with emotional overwhelm and attention difficulties.
Her background includes work in healthcare and therapeutic settings. That experience informs how she supports people through illness, caregiving strain, chronic pain and bereavement. She is familiar with challenges linked to neurodiversity, attachment concerns and identity questions.
Teresa describes her work as collaborative. She helps people clarify what matters to them and try small, manageable changes. Conversations often cover communication skills, boundaries, coping with change, and ways to reduce stress and improve sleep.
She holds a Professional Diploma in Counselling and is completing a Master’s degree in Psychology at the University of Stirling. Teresa is a qualified mindfulness teacher and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She accepts clients from the UK and internationally.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without directing, helps people clarify what matters, and supports them as they make small changes. This approach suits issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns and adjusting to new roles.Mindfulness therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These techniques can help with anxiety, stress, sleep problems and coping with emotional overwhelm. Practice is brief and practical, and can be built into everyday routines.
Teresa will work collaboratively to find what fits best for each person. She will check goals, try different ways of working, and adapt methods according to how someone responds. Figuring out the right mix of conversation and mindfulness is part of the sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or caregiving by removing travel time and allowing shorter or more regular check-ins. It can also let someone continue therapy while living in a different location from their therapist. Registered or accredited professionals can support progress through conversation, skills practice and shared planning.
