About Tessa
Tessa Adri-Soejoko is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and grief, and issues connected to life purpose. She also addresses intimacy-related problems, parenting strains and compassion fatigue.
Tessa uses a client-centred way of working that prioritises the person's perspective and choices. Attachment theory guides her thinking about how emotional patterns form and how they affect current relationships and coping. Sessions are organised to help people identify core problems and to consider practical steps forward when that is wanted.
In practice she focuses on clear conversation and reflective listening. People can expect time to talk through recent events, past influences and how those link to present difficulties. Tessa sets out options together with the client and agrees what to try next rather than imposing a fixed plan.
She is comfortable addressing longer-standing issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency, and the emotional aftermath of separation or domestic violence. She also supports people facing loneliness, guilt, shame or emptiness and those managing panic attacks or caregiving stress.
Tessa offers a steady, straightforward approach that helps people examine their patterns and consider new ways of coping. To begin, readers should check the online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How attachment and client-centred work translate online
Attachment-based work looks at how early emotional bonds shape how people react now. Online sessions can be used to talk through patterns of closeness, avoidance or fear, and consider practical ways to respond differently in relationships.Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own experience and choices. The therapist listens, reflects and helps the client name their priorities so they can decide the next steps. This approach suits people who want a conversational space to make sense of life changes and consider what matters next.
Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, personal preferences and practical needs, and then agree which elements to try. This is a collaborative process that can change as issues evolve.
