Tessa Adri-Soejoko, BACP

Tessa Adri-Soejoko offers a calm, steady presence for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem, grief or major life changes. She aims to make it easier to talk about painful experiences and to find small, manageable steps forward. Tessa writes in clear, plain language and keeps the focus on what matters to each person.

Tessa works from a client‑centred approach that places the person's own goals at the heart of the work. She also draws on attachment theory to help understand patterns in relationships and emotional responses. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit each individual's needs.

With six years of experience she has supported people through relationship rupture, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, and feelings of emptiness or shame. She also helps with panic attacks, avoidance in relationships, codependency and the practical fallout from separation or divorce.

Her way of working aims to build trust and self‑awareness. Conversations explore how past bonds shape present behaviour and how small changes can ease distress. Practical coping strategies and time to reflect are blended rather than presented as separate steps.

Tessa offers sessions using video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different routines. She is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How attachment and person‑centred work translate online

Attachment‑based work looks at how early bonds affect feelings and reactions today. Online sessions can help people notice these patterns and practice different ways of relating that reduce anxiety and avoidance. Client‑centred therapy focuses on the person's own goals and on building a trusting, non‑judgemental space to talk through hard things.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about what they want to achieve and try different ways of working together. Decisions about pace, focus and techniques are made jointly so the plan fits the client's goals and circumstances.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging makes therapy more flexible. Video lets people see each other's expressions for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when someone prefers not to use video or has limited bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit brief check‑ins, written reflection or people who find typing more comfortable. These options help therapy fit around work, family and busy days while still allowing steady therapeutic progress.
