Starting couple therapy with Teresa has been one of the best decisions for us. Therapy helped me calm down, reflect on my own patterns, and recognize how both of us were struggling and growing together. It truly brought more clarity, understanding, and peace into our relationship.

I had tried several therapy sessions in the past without seeing any noticeable changes in my thought patterns. Then, I decided to give Ello Mind a try. My therapist, Teresa, is very friendly, and I was able to connect with her perspective right away. She has already helped me make a positive change during one of the lowest points in my life.

I’ve been attending therapy sessions with Hyma ma’am, and the experience has been incredibly positive. She creates a safe and comfortable environment, allowing me to open up and explore my thoughts at my own pace. Her approach is both professional and compassionate. I’m truly grateful for the progress I’ve made with her guidance.

About Teresa

Teresa is a consultant psychologist who works with adolescents, young adults, and adults, as well as couples. People come to her for anxiety and OCD, low or depressed mood, anger and conflict, difficulty staying motivated or making a change stick, and relationship and attachment struggles. Her style is structured but conversational, and clients often say they felt at ease by the end of the first session.

Therapeutic approach

Teresa is trained in several methods and matches them to the problem rather than forcing one model onto everyone. She draws on CBT and DBT, Emotionally Focused and attachment-informed therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Behavioural Activation, and uses ERP for OCD. In practice that means spotting the thought and relationship patterns that are not helping and building skills that hold up day to day.
