Teresa Readhead , BACP

Teresa Readhead is a UK-based therapist with professional recognition from the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and seven years of clinical experience. She specialises in helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, navigate family conflicts, and work through grief and loss. Her practice also supports clients facing relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder, ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, and a wide range of life transitions and caregiving challenges.

Teresa adopts a warm, nonjudgmental stance and works collaboratively with each person to build an open space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. She aims to help clients identify practical coping strategies while also attending to underlying attachment patterns, personal narratives, and present-moment awareness. Recognising that taking the first step toward change takes courage, she offers steady support through that process and helps clients set goals for greater fulfilment and wellbeing. Teresa is available to accept new clients and works with people in the United Kingdom as well as international clients, providing services in English.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Teresa draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns shape present-day emotional responses and interpersonal difficulties. This approach can help people who struggle with trust, abandonment fears, or repeating relationship cycles. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy and unconditional positive regard so clients can lead the pace and focus of their own growth, useful for building self-esteem and processing life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core approach in her practice - it concentrates on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Teresa works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adapting techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for busy schedules, varied mobility, and clients living outside her local area. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access therapists and licensed professionals from different locations, supporting steady progress regardless of where a client is based.
