Tessa Adri-Soejoko

Tessa Adri-Soejoko is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship difficulties and grief. Tessa also supports those coping with parenting strain, compassion fatigue, life changes and concerns about life purpose.

Her approach draws on client-centred therapy and attachment-based ideas. Sessions focus on talking through what feels most urgent and noticing how past attachments affect current relationships. She aims to help people identify core issues and to work towards goals or clearer understanding of recurring patterns.

Tessa describes her work as collaborative and respectful. She listens to each person's concerns and adapts the sessions to what emerges. Practical conversations and reflective moments are both used as needed.

She commonly addresses themes such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, commitment anxiety and feelings of emptiness. Tessa also works with difficulties linked to domestic violence, divorce and separation, and the emotional effects of caregiving.

People who feel stuck after a life change or unsure of their next step often come to explore purpose, identity and intimacy. Tessa offers regular sessions to allow steady progress and open conversation about how to approach change.

To begin, visitors are invited to use the directory matching process and schedule an initial appointment. The subscription-based session model is noted in her profile and can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional responses and closeness. It helps when patterns of avoidance, abandonment or anxious relating make relationships and intimacy feel difficult. Client-centred therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of each session and uses listening to clarify what matters most now.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the first sessions. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client's goals, needs and preferences. That means trying things, reflecting together and adjusting the focus as needed rather than fixing a single way of working from the start.

The practical benefits of online work should be checked before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Confirm which session options are currently offered. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to schedule regular meetings, fit therapy into work breaks, avoid travel time and use shorter check-ins when concentration is limited. Others prefer in-person meetings for longer, in-depth exploration. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and aim to shape sessions so they fit into everyday life.
