Teresa Mortell-Stevens

I work to face-to-face in Ealing W13 and online between the hours of 8am and 7pm.

I currently have some availability on Mondays and Thursdays.

Are you feeling stuck, despondent and unmet, constantly repeating the same behaviours and relationship patterns? Maybe, you feel anxious and are you struggling with change? Are you finding life overwhelming at the moment and hard to navigate? Feeling worried or pretty low? I'm here to help. 

I support many people struggling with caring for others and themselves.  It maybe that you are caring for children or a loved one with poor physical or mental health,  a relationship has ended or you feel lonely despite having people around you. It could be you feel low and just don't understand why or you are simply feeling a bit overwhelmed and lost in life itself.

I am a Integrative Humanistic Counsellor and registered BACP member. My membership means my practice is underpinned by the BACP Ethical Framework. This ensures counsellors and therapists keep the wellbeing and safety of clients at the core of their practice. I keep up to date in my skills and competencies with regular CPD (Continuous Personal Development) training. As a  BACP therapist, I have regular supervision and am fully insured. 

In my counselling approach, I blend a person-centred approach, that seeks for us to build a deep shared understanding of who you are, with Transactional Analysis looking at your life script, personal, cultural and societal values and how you exist in the world.  My holistic approach encompasses your mind, body and spirit.  In attuning to our body we can gain greater insights into what we need in the moment. 

Every session is tailored to your individual needs and the goals you want to achieve from therapy. I recognise that every client’s journey is unique. To begin with, I will work to build trust as the foundation of our relationship. You will set the pace, and we will collaboratively explore the challenges you are facing and what might be blocking you from having the relationship with yourself and others that you desire.

I will  work in a way that best suits you. It may be that you need a safe and quiet space to unpack and explore feelings that are troubling you. It may be that you want to make a change or challenge your way of thinking. Either way, I offer a secure, non-judgemental and respectful space for us to work together.   

I believe that when you achieve a deep understanding and acceptance of yourself then change can occur. Through this process you will be able to live the life you imagined, with self-love and rewarding relationships with others. 

I understand you may be feeling unsure about what to expect from therapy with me and that is okay.

I offer a free 15-minute phone or online consultation to discuss your needs and if I we might be a good fit to work together. If you feel it is right for you, then we can book our first session.

Our first therapy session will give us a chance to get to know each other better and to make an agreement for our work together. 

The BACP rightly insists that we make an agreement together from the start and this is to ensure that I am meeting your expectations and abiding by its Ethical Framework.
