Teresa Readhead, BACP

Teresa Readhead is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with 7 years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, family conflict, and grief. She offers calm, practical support while encouraging clients to explore their thoughts and emotions in an open, non-judgmental space where difficult feelings can be named and examined.

Teresa understands that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life takes courage, and she approaches that step with warmth and steady support. She works collaboratively with each person to identify goals, build coping strategies, and strengthen resilience in the face of life changes. Her practice is focused on creating a respectful environment that makes it easier to share experiences, consider new perspectives, and try different ways of coping.

BACP indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. Teresa uses that foundation to guide her practice while tailoring care to each individual’s needs and pace, supporting clients through both short-term challenges and longer journeys of change.

Approaches Teresa Uses and Benefits of Online Sessions

Teresa commonly draws on attachment-based therapy, client-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to guide her work. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and helps people repair or understand those patterns to improve connection and emotional safety. Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s perspective, offering empathic listening and support so the person can find their own answers and build self-trust. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learn practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Teresa works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the plan over time so the work remains relevant and effective for the person’s situation.

Online therapy with Teresa is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access care despite busy schedules or geographic distance. These options provide flexibility in how and when people engage with therapy, supporting continuity of care for those balancing work, family, or international arrangements.
