Tessa Adri-Soejoko, BACP

Tessa Adri-Soejoko is a UK-based counsellor with six years of professional experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship rupture, grief and other life challenges. She works with a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, family and parenting difficulties, intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue and coping with major life changes. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, caregiver stress, panic attacks, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Holding BACP credentials - which indicate membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she draws on an integrative approach rooted in attachment theory and the person-centred model. Her clinical work emphasises emotional regulation through an attachment-informed lens while maintaining the core values of trust, respect, sensitivity, compassion and non-judgement that characterise person-centred practice. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs, whether the aim is to pursue specific goals or to explore deeper patterns that contribute to current struggles.

Tessa describes her therapeutic style as warm and supportive, prioritising a respectful, adaptive relationship that empowers clients to make meaningful changes. She typically works within a framework of weekly face-to-face sessions while remaining open to adapting the format and pace to suit individual circumstances. Those seeking a thoughtful, attachment-informed counsellor may consider reaching out to explore whether she is a good fit.

Attachment-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Tessa uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns shape emotional responses and the ways people connect with others. This approach helps clients understand and regulate emotions, and can be useful for issues such as relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and attachment-related anxiety.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritises a compassionate, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship. In this approach the therapist follows the client’s lead, offering empathy and unconditional positive regard to support self-exploration and personal growth. It is often helpful for rebuilding self-esteem, addressing depression, and navigating life transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey, and Tessa works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences. Licensed professionals tailor sessions and adjust techniques as understanding deepens.

Online therapy with Tessa can be delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support without travel, accommodate busy lives, and maintain continuity of care when circumstances change.
