Teresa Johnston, BACP

Teresa Johnston is a person-centred counsellor and qualified mindfulness teacher based in the United Kingdom, bringing three years of clinical work supporting people through change, loss, and overwhelming emotions. She combines a compassionate, nonjudgmental style with practical guidance to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, and life transitions such as career or health changes.

Her practice draws on a background in both healthcare and therapeutic settings, offering a warm space where individuals can explore what matters to them without pressure or expectation. Teresa emphasises collaboration rather than quick fixes, working alongside each person to make sense of painful patterns and to uncover steps toward a life that feels more aligned with their values and identity.

Teresa holds a Professional Diploma in Counselling and is a qualified mindfulness teacher. She is a registered member of COSCA - the professional body for counselling in Scotland - and BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She is also completing a Masters degree in Psychology at the University of Stirling. These credentials reflect her commitment to ongoing learning and to practising in line with recognised professional standards.

Whether clients are facing burnout, emotional dysregulation, communication issues in relationships, or complex loss, Teresa aims to offer steady support and practical tools tailored to each person’s situation. She accepts international clients and provides therapy in English.

Client-centred and Mindfulness-Based Support Online

Teresa draws on client-centred therapy and mindfulness approaches to support people working through stress, relationship tensions, grief, and life transitions. Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the therapist follows the client’s pace and perspective - this approach helps people feel heard and understood while exploring difficult emotions and decisions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and awareness practices that can reduce reactivity and help manage anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and persistent worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Teresa works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. She listens to individual needs, goals, and preferences, then adapts techniques and pacing so the work feels manageable and relevant.

Online therapy with Teresa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into everyday life. These options provide flexibility for clients with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those living far from local services. Registered professionals and therapists can effectively use these formats to build connection, develop coping skills, and support meaningful change over time.
