Teena Quinn , ACA

Teena Quinn is a credentialed practitioner in Australia with more than 10 years of professional experience and a Fellowship in Lifestyle Medicine, indicating advanced training in lifestyle-focused health approaches. She also holds ACA, a professional counselling accreditation that reflects formal training and membership in a counselling association.

Over her career she has worked with people from diverse backgrounds and spent several years supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Her clinical focus has included stress and anxiety, functional neurological disorders, sleep difficulties, depression, and helping people cope with major life changes. In both training and practice she draws on a blend of evidence-informed therapies to meet each person where they are.

Teena brings lived experience to her work, managing multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, Graves disease, POTS, and living with legal blindness. That combination of professional and personal perspective informs a compassionate, practical approach to therapy and helps her connect with clients facing chronic health challenges and complex life transitions.

She treats each person with dignity, respect, and sensitivity, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to individual needs and goals. While her manner remains professional, occasional "bush girl" speech can appear in her style as a natural part of how she relates and connects with people.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that adapt to your needs

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, then clarifies personal values to guide meaningful action. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where finding purpose and flexible coping matters.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early relationships shape current patterns of relating. It can help with intimacy struggles, relationship difficulties, shame, and healing from past relational wounds by building safer, more secure ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Teena works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to identify which methods best fit a person's goals, preferences, and life context, and she adapts techniques as needs change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into busy schedules, manage mobility or health challenges, and maintain continuity of care across life changes. These options allow therapists and clients to focus on progress in ways that suit each person’s routine and comfort.
