About Teresa

Teresa Johnston is a counsellor who supports people through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and life changes. She offers a calm, accepting presence and helps clients talk through issues like self-esteem, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, career crossroads, bipolar challenges and ADHD. Teresa uses a person-centred approach that focuses on listening first.

She aims to make people feel heard without pressure or judgement. Sessions are paced to suit each person so they can make sense of difficult feelings and begin to take small steps forward.

Background and approach

She also teaches and brings mindfulness into sessions. Mindfulness work helps with managing overwhelm, grounding in the present moment, and building simple habits for day-to-day coping. This is often paired with open conversation about what is useful for each person.

Teresa has worked in healthcare and therapeutic settings and holds a Professional Diploma in Counselling. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP, and follows its ethical framework. Currently she is completing a Master’s degree in Psychology at the University of Stirling and continues to draw on classroom learning alongside practical experience.

She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients by online formats.

Ways of working Teresa names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How client-centred care and mindfulness work online

Teresa offers two main approaches in online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and being fully present with a person. The aim is to build understanding and trust so people feel able to speak honestly and find their own solutions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple exercises to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgement. These practices can help with anxiety, stress, overwhelm and sleep problems by creating practical ways to calm and refocus during the day.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Teresa will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try out methods together. The plan can change as needs evolve and what is working becomes clearer.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or hands-free check-ins, live chat is useful for shorter exchanges, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility so people can link in from different places and at different times while working with a registered professional.
