Tessa Adri-Soejoko, BACP

Tessa Adri-Soejoko is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship rupture and grief. She also supports those facing intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and life changes.

Tessa uses a person-centred style that prioritises listening and respect. She draws on attachment theory to look at patterns of relating and emotional regulation. Sessions are practical and conversational, with attention to what feels most pressing for the individual.

In early work she helps clients clarify goals and notice recurring patterns that cause pain. Later sessions can focus on building steadier ways of coping, setting limits, or repairing ruptured relationships. She talks through both immediate problems and deeper attachment issues.

Tessa pays attention to experiences such as abandonment fears, codependency, avoidant tendencies, and caregiver stress. She also addresses trauma, domestic violence, separation, panic attacks, guilt and shame. Her approach is consistent: listen first, then work together on next steps.

People who find it hard to say no, struggle with people-pleasing, or often feel isolated may recognise their patterns in her descriptions. The emphasis is on clear conversation, noticing emotional responses, and choosing manageable changes. If someone wants to explore these issues, Tessa invites an initial connection to see if the fit feels right.
