Counselling and Psychotherapeutic Approach

Teresa emphasises in her approach, the crucial importance of the therapeutic relationship, and endeavours to create and provide a safe, collaborative and non-judgemental environment for people.  She works primarily from a Schema-focused perspective. This is an evidence-based therapy, which expands on traditional cognitive-behavioural concepts. Schema therapy blends elements from cognitive-behavioural, attachment dynamics, and psychodynamic processes into a unifying treatment approach. Schema therapy essentially focuses on helping people to identify and work on changing self-defeating patterns of thought, emotions and behaviours developed during childhood.

Counselling Experience and Areas of Interest

Teresa has been practising as a psychologist since 2000.  She has built up her experience through working in a variety of therapeutic settings that span private work, residential and within communities. She has gained valuable experience working particularly in the areas of traumatic impact, addictive states and the spectrum of eating disordered behaviours.  Teresa endeavours to help people to explore their vulnerabilities, and collaboratively formulate evidence-based strategies that support people in the journey of reclaiming of their lives.
