In private practice she offers tailored interventions such as mindfulness exercises, communication strategies, and CBT tools to support symptom management and personal growth.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Theresa combines client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to offer both supportive listening and practical strategies. Client-centred therapy focuses on empathic, non-judgmental listening that helps individuals explore feelings and build self-understanding - it is useful for relationship issues, low self-esteem, grief, and emotional processing. CBT is a structured approach that identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and works to replace them with more adaptive patterns; it is often effective for anxiety, depression, stress, sleep difficulties, and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Theresa works collaboratively with each person to decide what will best meet their needs and goals. Together they review preferences, practical concerns, and outcomes to shape a personalised plan that may draw from different models over time.

Online therapy with Theresa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility needs. These formats make it easier to access regular support from registered professionals and therapists while adapting session style and frequency to suit each client’s life.
