About Tessa

Tessa Green is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. Her listed focus includes relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, grief, self-harm and issues around self-esteem and purpose.

She offers a straightforward, person-centred way of working. Sessions concentrate on what is happening now, and on how thoughts and feelings shape everyday choices. Tessa listens and reflects, and helps people talk through difficult emotions and confusing situations.

Common difficulties she supports include panic attacks, postpartum depression and post-traumatic stress. She also helps with workplace stress, social anxiety, communication problems and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Life purpose and midlife questions are specifically noted among her areas of interest.

Tessa uses Client-Centred Therapy in her practice. That means the counselling is led by the person's own concerns and pace. Her approach is conversational and practical, with attention to how patterns of attachment, guilt and shame affect relationships and decisions.

People can expect short-term practical focus as well as longer conversations about recurring patterns. She asks about what is most pressing, and works with clients to try different ways of understanding and coping. To begin, a simple questionnaire is used to match needs before arranging the first session.

Client-Centred approaches and online working

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflection and following what matters most to the client. The counsellor offers gentle feedback and mirrors back what is said so the person can make sense of their feelings. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and questions about life purpose or midlife change.

Finding the right way to work is part of the process. Tessa will explore goals, preferences and practical needs together with the client so they can agree how to proceed. That collaborative decision helps shape session length, pacing and the focus of conversations.

Session formats should be confirmed before booking as the original biography does not list specific options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it useful for ongoing weekly sessions or for focused blocks of coaching-style work, but check the available formats and timings when you begin.
