About Tessa
Tessa uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the person’s experience at the heart of the conversation. She also draws on attachment ideas about how early relationships shape how people manage emotions today. Together with each client she looks at what is causing the most pain and what changes would feel useful.
Sessions are collaborative. The focus can be practical coping strategies, looking at relationship patterns, or spending time understanding grief and loss. Tessa adapts the pace to each person and helps set realistic goals when that is helpful. She names feelings, reflects what she hears and invites new ways of responding to difficult situations.
Her background includes six years of experience in counselling work and she is BACP registered, which is noted as a professional credential. Tessa normally works within a weekly session framework and discusses the best scheduling rhythm with each person.
People often reach out about caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, parenting strain, relationship rupture, trauma and grief. When someone wants to explore those concerns, Tessa offers steady support and practical conversation to help them move forward.

How Tessa’s approaches inform online work
Tessa uses client-centred counselling and attachment-based ideas to guide her work. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and reflecting back what a person says to help them find their own solutions. This approach is useful for people looking to build confidence, sort out values or work through day-to-day stress.Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape emotional responses today. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships, manage strong emotions and address issues such as abandonment, codependency or intimacy difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Tessa treats this as a collaborative task and will check in about what feels most useful. She works with the client to set goals, try ways of working and adjust the approach if something doesn’t fit.
