About Teresa
Teresa Johnston is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and the practical struggles that come with life changes. Teresa also lists codependency among her focus areas and supports people dealing with intimacy concerns and difficulties around boundaries.
Teresa draws on Person-Centred counselling and mindfulness teaching in her work. Sessions begin with straightforward listening and questions about what feels most urgent. She helps clients name patterns that keep repeating and notices how those patterns show up in day-to-day life.
Her background includes work in healthcare and other therapeutic settings. That experience shapes a practical style: she uses mindful awareness exercises and simple reflective conversation to slow things down and clarify next steps. Clients are encouraged to try small experiments between sessions to test new ways of relating and responding.
Teresa is completing a Master’s degree in Psychology at the University of Stirling and holds a Professional Diploma in Counselling. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and of COSCA.
People who come to Teresa often want clearer boundaries, relief from constant people-pleasing, or ways to steady their mood. She works in an ordinary, straightforward way that focuses on what can be changed now, one small step at a time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of the session. The therapist listens without directing the conversation and helps the client make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach helps with relationship problems, low self-esteem and situations where someone feels stuck.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce reactivity and increase clarity. These exercises can be useful for anxiety, stress, grief and for noticing codependent patterns as they arise in everyday moments.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Teresa will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together they will decide which approaches to try. That collaborative process helps shape what sessions focus on and which exercises are practised between meetings.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit more easily into work and family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let mindfulness practice be guided from wherever they are. Registered and accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, commonly use online meetings to make therapy more practical for day-to-day life.
