Teresa Readhead, BACP

Teresa Readhead is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, family concerns, grief and loss, and related difficulties. Teresa writes plainly and keeps sessions focused on practical steps and everyday coping.

She aims to help people talk through what feels stuck at home or at work. Conversations cover managing strong feelings, practical ways to reduce anxiety, and coping after loss. Teresa uses conversational techniques alongside structured tools when helpful.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at close relationships. She also uses client-centred methods that put the person's priorities first, and cognitive behavioural techniques to try out different ways of thinking and acting. Mindfulness and narrative work are other ways she helps people reframe problems and notice patterns.

Teresa often supports people dealing with parenting strain, family conflict, anger and communication problems. She also works with concerns such as low self-esteem, eating or sleeping difficulties, addiction and work-related stress. She includes issues connected to ageing, caregiving, chronic illness and chronic pain in her practice.

When someone starts, she focuses first on what matters most to them. Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational. The emphasis is on practical change and clearer daily routines rather than long explanations of theory.

To begin, a short questionnaire is used to match needs and schedule a first session. Teresa accepts clients from the UK and internationally and runs sessions in English.
