About Tessa
Counsellor Tessa Adri-Soejoko is a BACP member with six years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing intimacy concerns, parenting strains and major life changes.
Tessa works from person-centred principles and uses attachment ideas to understand emotional patterns. In sessions she listens to what matters most to the client and reflects this back in clear, simple language. The aim is practical exploration rather than jargon or labels.
Her approach focuses on understanding how early relationships can shape current feelings and behaviour. That makes it easier to spot repeated patterns such as fear of abandonment, codependency or avoidant responses. Sessions can look at the roots of these patterns and how they show up now.
Tessa is used to helping people process difficult memories and losses, and to manage panic, guilt, shame and isolation. She also works with practical issues like parenting stress, caregiver burden and relationship breakups. Work can include short‑term goal work or longer reflection depending on what the person wants.
She normally meets clients weekly and will discuss rhythm and practical arrangements at the first meeting. To start, people are invited to use the site matching questionnaire and book an initial session to see whether the way she works feels right.
How attachment and person centred work online
Attachment‑based work looks at how early relationships shape later feelings and behaviour. It helps people who notice patterns such as fear of abandonment, difficulty with closeness, or repeated relationship ruptures to make sense of those patterns and try new ways of relating.Client‑centred (person centred) therapy focuses on the client’s experience in the moment. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows what feels most important to the person. This approach suits people who want to be heard and to understand their feelings more clearly.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has worked or not worked before, and will agree a way of working together. This is a collaborative discussion rather than a fixed prescription.
Practical benefits of online or remote work should be checked before booking, since current session formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find remote options easier to fit around work, childcare or travel. Others prefer face to face meetings for weekly, longer sessions. Confirm the exact formats offered and how sessions are scheduled when you arrange your first appointment.
