Teresa Johnston, BACP

Teresa Johnston helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief and low self-esteem. She supports those managing life changes, parenting pressures, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Teresa offers a calm, non-judgemental space where someone can talk things through at their own pace.

Teresa practises person-centred counselling and teaches mindfulness. She draws on three years of experience in healthcare and therapeutic settings. Sessions focus on listening first, and then finding what works for each person rather than following a fixed method.

Conversations often begin with what feels most urgent. Teresa pays close attention to everyday patterns - how thoughts, feelings and relationships affect daily life. She uses mindfulness exercises to build awareness and simple person-centred techniques to strengthen self-compassion and decision-making.

Teresa holds a Professional Diploma in Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She is completing a Master’s degree in Psychology at the University of Stirling and is a qualified mindfulness teacher.

Work is guided by ethical frameworks from COSCA and BACP. Teresa aims to collaborate, not direct, helping people make changes that fit their values and circumstances. If someone wants to explore emotions, relationships, or major life shifts, Teresa offers steady, practical support.

How person-centred and mindfulness approaches work online

Teresa uses person-centred counselling and mindfulness teaching to help people notice what matters most to them. Person-centred work focuses on being heard and understood; the therapist reflects what the client says and helps them make their own choices. This approach suits issues like low self-esteem, relationship struggles and life transitions.

Mindfulness therapy involves simple attention exercises and breath-based practices to reduce reactivity and build calm. These tools can help with anxiety, stress, sleep problems and managing strong emotions by training attention and self-awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Teresa will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques to try and adjust them as goals evolve. The aim is to tailor sessions so they feel useful and relevant rather than forcing a single method.

The biography does not list which session formats are used, so check current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a working day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes access possible for those living farther away or outside the local area, while the therapist and client work together to choose practical arrangements that suit everyday life.
