Teresa Johnston, BACP

Teresa Johnston is a person-centred counsellor and mindfulness teacher based in the United Kingdom with three years of experience supporting people through change, loss, and emotional overwhelm. She draws on experience from both healthcare and therapeutic settings to offer a calm, compassionate space where clients can be listened to fully and without judgment.

Her practice focuses on helping individuals manage stress, burnout, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, relationship and communication challenges, grief and bereavement, low self-esteem, and life transitions such as career or health changes. Teresa works collaboratively with each person, avoiding quick fixes and one-size-fits-all methods, and supports clients to make sense of difficult experiences and to move toward greater alignment with their values and goals.

Teresa holds a Professional Diploma in Counselling and is completing a Master of Science in Psychology at the University of Stirling. She is a qualified mindfulness teacher and a registered member of COSCA and BACP. BACP is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and COSCA is Scotland's counselling and psychotherapy organisation. Teresa practises in line with these professional bodies' ethical frameworks and brings a respectful, client-centred approach to her therapeutic work.

Client-Centered and Mindfulness Approaches Delivered Online

Teresa Johnston uses client-centred therapy and mindfulness-based work to guide people through emotional difficulty and life transitions. Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a non-directive, empathetic environment in which the therapist reflects and supports the client's own capacity for insight and growth; it is helpful for relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, and coping with major life changes. Mindfulness therapy teaches practical attention and breathing-based exercises to help manage racing thoughts, anxiety, and emotional reactivity, and it can support better day-to-day regulation and stress management.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Teresa works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore what feels most helpful, adapting the focus as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those living overseas. Registered professionals and therapists can provide consistent, ongoing support through these formats, making it easier to fit therapy into everyday life while maintaining continuity between sessions.
