About Teresa
Teresa Readhead is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction issues, family conflict and grief. Teresa focuses on clear, practical conversations that help people feel understood and make manageable changes.
She offers straightforward sessions where clients can talk about what is happening now and what they want to change. Teresa uses a mix of approaches to suit different concerns, including attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and client-centred talking. This can mean looking at patterns in relationships, identifying unhelpful thinking, and exploring personal stories to find new ways forward.
Teresa often helps people who are dealing with life transitions, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy questions, and pressures around work or study. She also supports those managing trauma, bipolar or depression, and people coping with chronic illness or caregiver stress. Conversations can cover practical coping strategies and emotional processing as needed.
Her style is direct and conversational. Sessions typically include checking what is most important that week, reflecting on recent experiences, and trying small, practical steps between meetings. Teresa encourages clients to notice what does and does not work for them and to build on what helps.
People who want a clear, no-frills approach to sorting out anxiety, grief, family issues or the stresses of early adulthood may find her way of working helpful. She accepts clients from the UK and internationally and carries her BACP credential throughout her practice.
How her approaches translate to online work
Theresa uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. This helps when trust, closeness or repeated conflicts feel stuck. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and test unhelpful thoughts, which can reduce anxiety and improve sleep and day-to-day functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then agree a way of working together. That collaboration means the methods can shift as the person’s needs change over time.
