About Teena
Teena Quinn is an ACA counsellor with more than 10 years of practice in Australia. She draws on both clinical experience and lived experience of chronic illness to connect with people who are feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Teena aims to listen first, then work with each person to set realistic goals they can actually use day to day.
Her main focus includes stress, anxiety and depression, plus help for sleep and addictions. She also supports people facing major life changes, grief and intimacy-related concerns. Teena has worked with diverse communities, including time supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander groups.
Teena uses straightforward, conversational approaches. Sessions centre on what matters to the client and practical steps to manage feelings and behaviour. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-based work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to tailor strategies that suit each person’s situation.
Living with multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, Graves’ disease, POTS and legal blindness has shaped her perspective. That lived experience informs her empathy and the practical tools she offers. She aims to help people find ways to cope that fit real life, not idealised routines.
Teena describes her style as professional with touches of “bush girl” language. She says this helps her build honest, grounded connections. If someone wants steady support while navigating medical issues, workplace stress or relationship strains, she works collaboratively to map sensible next steps.
Online approaches and what they offer
Teena draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside Client-Centred ideas. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression and coping with chronic illness. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current emotional responses and helps people build more secure ways of relating. Client-Centred work puts the person’s priorities first, using listening and reflection to support insight and self-directed change.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Teena will talk through options and try methods that suit the person’s goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape practical steps and the pace of change rather than following one fixed model.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting therapy into busy schedules and removing travel time. Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to join from work breaks, manage shorter check-ins, or avoid needing to travel to an appointment. Teena aims to adapt sessions so they fit real life and the client’s day-to-day needs.
