Teresa Readhead , BACP

Teresa Readhead is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience and a BACP registration. She focuses on everyday pressures like stress and anxiety, as well as grief, addictions and relationship difficulties. Teresa aims to create an open space where people can talk without judgement and take steps toward a more satisfying life.

She uses straightforward, people-centred ways of working. Sessions begin by listening to what matters most and by setting practical goals together. Teresa pays attention to patterns in relationships and how they affect feelings and behaviour.

Her approach includes talking through unhelpful thought patterns and testing small changes in daily life. Mindfulness techniques are used to help manage overwhelming feelings and improve sleep and focus. Narrative ideas help people reframe difficult life stories and make room for new possibilities.

Teresa has worked with a wide range of concerns such as self-esteem, parenting stress, addiction recovery, compassion fatigue and long-term health issues. She also supports people dealing with attachment or abandonment worries, body image, and communication problems.

Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients. Therapy can take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to the therapist's schedule.

How Teresa's approaches work online

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current reactions. It helps people understand why they may feel easily hurt, alone or anxious in relationships and supports creating more stable connections.

Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the session. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the person's pace, which suits people who want a supportive, respectful space to talk things through.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence actions and feelings. It uses short practical exercises to test different ways of thinking and small behaviour changes that can reduce anxiety, improve sleep and lift mood.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Teresa will explore your goals, preferences and the issues you bring, and together you will choose which methods to use. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs shift over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or days when being on camera is difficult. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel while maintaining continuity of care.
