About Tessa
BACP. 3 years' experience. Tessa Green works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression and a range of life difficulties using a client-centred approach. She offers counselling for relationship concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, self-harm, low self-esteem and workplace issues, and also supports people facing life changes and parenting-related strain.
Tessa uses client-centred counselling, which focuses on listening and reflecting so people can make sense of their feelings. Sessions are conversational and paced to the person’s needs. She aims to help people talk through guilt, shame, isolation and communication problems and to notice options for change.
Her work includes attention to attachment issues, panic and post-traumatic stress, postpartum depression and problems with identity or life purpose. Tessa also tackles practical areas such as coping strategies for panic attacks and managing workplace stress.
People can expect a steady, talk-based process that foregrounds understanding and personal choice. Tessa describes her role as providing calm, non-judgemental listening and helping people weigh possible steps forward. She invites clients to explore forgiveness, family problems and the impact of past events on present life.
Sessions are offered in English and provided in the United Kingdom. The counsellor uses a subscription billing model that can be cancelled at any time; fees vary by location.

How client-centred counselling works online
Client-centred counselling is built around listening and reflection. The counsellor offers active, non-directive listening so the person can name thoughts and feelings and consider next steps. This approach suits issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and relationship difficulties.In practice the counsellor focuses on understanding attachment and how past relationships affect present feelings. That can help when working with trauma, shame, communication problems or feelings of emptiness. The emphasis is on the person's experience rather than the counsellor giving advice.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and will adapt the way of working together with the client. This is a collaborative process and the chosen approach can change as needs change.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which formats are offered. Online sessions can make fitting counselling into everyday life easier by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins and making it simpler to arrange appointments around work or family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss practical arrangements when you schedule the first session.
