About Tessa
Tessa Adri-Soejoko offers calm, practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship struggles. She presents as a steady presence who helps clients think through grief, parenting concerns, life changes and the emotional impact of trauma. Tessa is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP status, and she brings six years of professional experience to her work.
Tessa uses a warm, collaborative style in sessions. She aims to build trust and offer a non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Her approach focuses on understanding emotional patterns and attachment needs that shape relationships and self-image. In practice she draws on client-centred counselling to follow the client’s lead. That means conversations focus on the client’s priorities, and the therapist reflects and clarifies to support insight and choice.
Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early connections influence current feelings and responses. Sessions can include exploring the roots of anxiety, working through grief, or addressing shame and isolation. Tessa is open to adapting the pace and focus according to each person’s needs, whether that means goal-based work or slower reflective sessions.
People who want practical strategies alongside emotional understanding may find this approach helpful. Tessa encourages small steps that build confidence and coping skills over time.

How attachment and person-centred work translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can use this approach to notice patterns in relationships, such as avoidance, abandonment fears or intimacy difficulties, and then try small changes in how people relate. Client-centred counselling focuses on the person’s priorities and uses reflective listening to help clients feel heard and seen; this style fits well with conversational formats like video and phone calls where the therapist follows the client’s lead.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as work progresses. Clients and therapist decide together whether to emphasise insight, practical coping strategies or a mixture of both.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can suit people who prefer typing or need day-to-day check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the therapeutic focus on attachment and the client’s priorities.
