Tessa GreenBACP

Tessa Green is a counsellor who focuses on pregnancy and childbirth concerns alongside common life stresses. She aims to make first contact straightforward and calm, helping people talk through anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and changes that come with becoming a parent.

Tessa works using a client-centred approach. That means she listens first, follows what matters to the person in front of her, and adapts each session around their needs. Sessions are conversational and paced to suit how someone is coping on the day.

She offers a space without judgement where feelings such as shame, guilt, emptiness or grief can be named and understood. Practical coping ideas are introduced where useful, alongside time to reflect on hopes and next steps. The emphasis is on small, achievable changes rather than sudden fixes.

With three years' experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Tessa draws on work with anxiety, depression, trauma, self-harm and relationship difficulties. Her background supports people juggling parenting concerns and life transitions while they adjust to new roles.

People meet her for help with panic, workplace stress, communication problems, attachment issues and postnatal struggles. She encourages gradual progress and supports people in finding clearer direction, more confidence and healthier ways to cope day to day.

How client-centred work fits with online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following what matters most to the person. The counsellor creates space for you to explain your concerns and priorities, and helps you make sense of feelings like anxiety, grief or parenting stress. This approach suits people who want to be heard and guided at their own pace.

That same client-led spirit means the counsellor will work with each person to find the right way forward. Together they will discuss goals, try different techniques and adjust the approach based on what feels helpful. Deciding what fits best is part of the collaborative work rather than a one-off decision.

For practicalities, please confirm which session formats are offered before booking as the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or childcare, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to continue therapy through a period of change, while the counsellor and client agree the best rhythm and tools for progress.
