Tessa Adri-Soejoko

Tessa Adri-Soejoko is a counsellor who focuses on helping people through stressful and painful life moments. She supports those dealing with anxiety, low mood, relationship rupture, grief, and challenges with self-esteem. Her approach is warm and straightforward to make it easier to take the first steps towards change.

Her style is collaborative and non-judgemental. Tessa draws on person-centred methods to create a respectful space where people can reflect and work towards the goals that matter to them. Attachment theory also informs her practice, helping to understand emotional patterns and regulation.

Sessions are used to identify core issues and to consider practical ways forward. Some people come wanting focused goal work, while others use sessions to reflect on deeper, recurring difficulties. Tessa aims to adapt each conversation to the person in front of her.

She brings six years of professional experience and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. This background shapes how she listens and plans work with clients.

If someone is unsure how to begin, Tessa encourages a short initial step to see if there is a good fit. She offers a compassionate, steady presence while people navigate change and recovery.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current emotions and reactions. It helps people who struggle with closeness, abandonment fears, or emotional overwhelm by naming patterns and practising different ways of relating.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and creating a non-judgemental space. It helps people feel heard, build self-understanding and choose steps that suit their values and goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs and preferences and together decide which style or mix of approaches to use. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session options before booking as the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also support steady, regular contact while someone navigates separation, grief or other life changes, helping therapeutic work continue alongside everyday responsibilities.
