About Teena
Teena Quinn is an ACA counsellor with ten years of clinical experience. She brings a practical, down-to-earth style and aims to help people move through anxiety, depression, addictions and major life changes. Teena writes plainly and meets people where they are, often using everyday language and gentle humour to put clients at ease.
Teena draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-informed ways of working. She focuses on helping people with stress, sleep problems, grief and trauma.
How Teena works
Her work also covers intimacy-related issues, eating and body image concerns, parenting strain and career questions. She has experience supporting people with chronic illness and complex health needs, and speaks from both professional and lived experience. That background informs how she talks about pacing, fatigue and coping strategies without assuming one solution fits everyone.
In sessions she listens first, then helps people try small, practical steps. Teena tailors conversations to each person’s goals and preferences. Her aim is to build useful skills and clearer choices rather than relying on one strict method.
Teena works with people who also face relationship and family stress, communication problems and issues around attachment. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs and schedules. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Teena commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) when working online. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and emotions and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives practical tools to change unhelpful patterns, useful for stress, sleep problems and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teena will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. The decision about which methods to try is collaborative and can change as needs do.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls allow deeper face-to-face work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for people juggling work, health or family commitments.
