About Tessa
Tessa Adri-Soejoko offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or grief. She is direct but gentle, helping clients untangle low self-esteem, relationship ruptures and the weight of life changes. Her approach aims to make emotional difficulties easier to understand and manage.
Tessa uses simple language and a collaborative style so sessions feel practical and approachable. Tessa draws on six years of professional experience and holds BACP registration.
How Tessa works
She bases her work on attachment ideas - looking at how early relationships shape emotional patterns - alongside a person-centred outlook that privileges each person's perspective. This combination helps people look at why certain reactions keep repeating and what they might do differently. Sessions are geared to identifying clear concerns and then working steadily towards them.
Conversations often focus on emotional regulation, rebuilding confidence, and repairing or rethinking important relationships. Tessa adapts the pace to each person and checks in about goals as therapy unfolds. She can also help with more specific issues such as panic attacks, codependency, caregiver stress and intimacy-related difficulties.
Practical coping strategies and reflective discussion are mixed depending on what a client needs that week. Tessa offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Online support options
Attachment and Person-centred Approaches Online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape emotional patterns and reactions. It helps people understand why certain situations trigger strong feelings and teaches ways to manage emotional responses more calmly.Person-centred therapy focuses on the client's experience and pace. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people find their own answers, which can be useful for rebuilding self-esteem and making decisions about relationships or life direction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods to suit what the person needs. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted as progress or new concerns emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller exchange is helpful, while phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief updates, written reflection or ongoing support between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work even when circumstances change.
