Teresa Johnston, BACP

Teresa Johnston is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. She also supports those dealing with intimacy issues, sleep and eating concerns, parenting strain, career transitions, bipolar challenges, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Teresa works from a thoughts and everyday habits focus and aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk things through.

Her style is person-centred, which means she listens closely and follows each person’s pace rather than imposing a fixed plan. She combines that listening with mindfulness teaching to help people notice patterns of thinking and feeling. Sessions tend to be collaborative and gentle, with practical ideas offered when they fit the person’s goals.

Teresa has three years of professional experience and a Professional Diploma in Counselling. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and also holds membership with COSCA. She is currently completing a Master’s degree in Psychology at the University of Stirling.

Her background includes work in healthcare and therapeutic settings, which informs a practical approach to common life stresses. Teresa focuses on helping people make sense of what has been hard and to build small, manageable changes into daily life.

If someone wants to explore therapy with Teresa they will find a conversational, compassionate way of working that pays attention to everyday thoughts and habits as well as feelings.

How person-centred and mindfulness approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person's lead. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to make sense of their thoughts and feelings in their own time. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts, bodily sensations and habitual reactions, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Teresa will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try practical ways of working that fit those needs. That collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made or priorities shift.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow working with a therapist across regions or countries when international arrangements suit both parties.
