About Teena

Teena Quinn is an ACA counsellor with ten years of clinical experience. She brings direct, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. Her lived experience with chronic illness informs how she listens and responds.

She speaks plainly and offers steady guidance for everyday struggles. Teena uses several evidence-informed approaches to shape sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours.

Background and approach

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify personal values and build workable habits. Attachment-informed ideas guide work on relationships and intimacy concerns. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, including addictions, sleep and eating problems, anger, self-esteem, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Teena also helps with grief, trauma and coping after major change. She works with questions about parenting, careers and communication problems, tailoring the plan to each person. Ten years of work in Australia includes time supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

That background shaped a respectful, down-to-earth style. Teena aims to create a space where people feel heard and treated with dignity. Sessions move at the client’s pace.

Teena mixes practical tools with reflective conversation. She is direct when needed and warm in her manner. A bit of “bush girl” speech sometimes appears in her style, which many find disarming and human.

How Teena’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online ACT sessions can focus on small behavioural experiments and practical homework between meetings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets thought patterns and routines that keep problems going, with clear strategies to change them over time. CBT works well through video or phone when practising skills and reviewing progress together.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teena treats approach choice as a collaboration and will discuss which methods feel best for each person. Goals, preferences and daily realities guide whether ACT, CBT or attachment-based ideas are used in sessions.

Online formats allow flexible ways to meet. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, coaching-style support and ongoing reminders between sessions, making therapy easier to fit into a busy life.
