About Tessa
Tessa Adri-Soejoko is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with young adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and other intimacy-related issues. Tessa also lists parenting, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue among her focus areas.
Her way of working emphasises a person-centred, collaborative approach. Sessions aim to be straightforward and conversational, with attention to how early relationships affect current feelings and behaviour. Attachment ideas are used to look at emotional regulation and patterns of relating to others.
In practice she helps clients identify core concerns and set simple goals when that feels useful. Sometimes the work is problem-focused, such as handling panic attacks or managing overwhelming anxiety. Other times it is more reflective, looking at themes like abandonment, codependency, guilt or a sense of emptiness.
Tessa draws on client-centred counselling to prioritise the client’s perspective in each session. That means listening carefully, checking understanding and working at the client’s pace. She names and works with common life stressors for adults in their twenties, including transitions, career pressures and relationship uncertainty.
Her background includes six years of practice in the UK and registration with the BACP. Before booking, people should confirm current session options and any local arrangements that may affect how they meet.
How attachment and person-centred work translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. Online sessions that use this approach help people notice how they react in relationships, manage strong emotions and work through abandonment or attachment concerns.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client’s experience and understanding. In practice this means the counsellor listens closely, mirrors what she hears and supports the client to explore their own thoughts and choices. This approach is often helpful for stress, low self-esteem and decisions about life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which ideas and ways of working suit them best. That is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so check the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around study, work or caring responsibilities because they avoid travel time. They can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick review is useful, or sessions without video when low bandwidth or being off camera helps. Registered or accredited professionals can often adapt pacing and focus to suit a young adult managing study, early careers and relationship pressures.
