About Teena
Teena Quinn is an ACA counsellor with ten years of professional experience. She combines practical approaches with a warm, down-to-earth style to help people move forward from stress, anxiety and life changes. Teena writes plainly, listens carefully, and works together with clients to set realistic goals.
She draws on hypnotherapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to tailor sessions. Conversations focus on manageable steps - improving sleep, easing anxiety, addressing grief, or building healthier patterns in relationships.
Background and approach
Teena aims to demystify therapy so clients know what to expect each week. Teena also has direct lived experience of chronic illness and disability. That background shapes her empathy and understanding for people facing long-term health challenges, chronic pain or fluctuating energy.
She uses this perspective to offer practical coping strategies and realistic pacing when needed. Her approach stays client-centred and collaborative. Sessions are adapted to individual needs, whether the focus is coping skills, grief work, managing addictive behaviours, or exploring intimacy and self-esteem.
She encourages small, steady changes rather than quick fixes. Teena’s manner is professional yet informal, and she often brings a bit of what she calls “bush girl” speech into conversations as a natural way to connect. If a supportive, straightforward counsellor feels right, she helps people make clear plans and take the next steps toward their goals.

Online support
How Teena uses online approaches and therapy methods
Teena blends hypnotherapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in straightforward ways. Hypnotherapy may be used to help people access relaxed focus and rehearse new responses to anxiety, sleep problems or cravings. ACT focuses on values and small, workable steps so clients can live a more meaningful life despite difficult thoughts and feelings.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to notice relationship patterns and help people change how they relate to others. These approaches are discussed together and chosen to match the person's current goals and preferences. Teena works collaboratively with each client to find the best fit rather than prescribing a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video suits deeper, conversational work; phone can be easier when a session needs less bandwidth; live chat or text messaging can support short check-ins or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives, manage mobility or health limits, and keep steady support while working toward change.
