Tessa Adri-Soejoko, BACP

Tessa Adri-Soejoko is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with six years of clinical experience supporting people through emotional challenges. She works with adults experiencing stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, caregiver stress, panic attacks, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Tessa's approach is rooted in attachment theory and the person-centered model of counselling. Attachment theory informs her understanding of emotional regulation and relational patterns, while person-centered practice places the client's experience, autonomy, and inherent worth at the center of therapeutic work. Her style is warm, collaborative, and responsive, guided by respect, sensitivity, and non-judgmental support. Together with each person she meets, Tessa explores core concerns and works toward goals that may include symptom relief, clearer relationships, or deeper self-understanding.

She typically offers weekly in-person sessions within a structured framework but adapts to each individual’s needs and preferences. Tessa invites those ready to take steps toward a more fulfilling life to connect and explore whether they are a good fit for working together.

Attachment-informed care and online therapy options

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early relationships shape emotional responses and current patterns in close relationships. It helps people understand why they might react strongly to perceived rejection or abandonment and supports development of more stable emotional regulation and secure connections.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of the work. Through empathic listening and acceptance, this approach helps individuals explore feelings, clarify goals, and build self-trust, making it useful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and is established collaboratively. Tessa works with each person to identify which methods and goals fit their needs, adjusting style and pacing to match preferences, practical circumstances, and the issues being faced.

Online therapy can make that collaborative work more convenient. Video calls and phone sessions provide live, face-to-face interactions, while live chat and text-based messaging offer flexible ways to communicate between or instead of scheduled meetings. These options increase accessibility and make it easier to maintain consistent support around work, family, or other commitments.
