About Teena
Teena Quinn is an ACA counsellor in Australia with 10 years of professional experience. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, bipolar and ADHD. Her profile includes codependency among other focus areas.
Teena has lived experience of multiple chronic health conditions and some vision loss. That background informs her clinical work and how she talks with people about day-to-day coping. She has also spent time supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and brings that experience into sessions when relevant.
Her practice draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centred methods, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. In practical terms that means sessions look at values, relationship patterns, thinking styles and skills for handling strong emotions and distress.
Conversations are straightforward and focused on what is happening now. Teena helps people notice how they give themselves away in relationships, practise setting boundaries, and build simple routines for better sleep and mood. She also works with people coping with long-term illness and the daily impacts that brings.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and session cost varies with location.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small, values-guided actions. It suits people who feel stuck, struggle with people-pleasing, or want clearer priorities in relationships.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in close relationships and how those patterns show up now. This can help people who notice they lose themselves in relationships or fear abandonment to understand their typical responses and make different choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as you learn what helps.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet without travel. A clear plan about session length and focus helps keep each appointment practical and useful.
