Teri is the person who reads and responds to everything you send. There is nobody else.
I'm Teri.
I created A Place to Land because I know how different it feels when, instead of being given another answer, another piece of advice or another thing to do, someone takes the time to really meet you where you are.
This is a place where you can bring whatever is happening in you. You don't have to make it tidy, know what you need, or find the right words.
I will read what you write carefully. I'll meet you with curiosity, compassion and honesty, reflect back what I'm hearing, stay curious about what feels important, and gently help you explore your own experience more deeply.
The intention is not to tell you what your experience means, but to help you hear yourself more clearly and reconnect with your own wisdom.
My work is trauma-informed and shaped by my training in Compassionate Inquiry®, Conscious Parenting® and relational approaches to emotional wellbeing, alongside my own lived experience of navigating difficult chapters in my personal and family life.
Over the years I have come to believe that most of us need fewer people trying to change us, and more places where we can tell the truth and remain in relationship. That belief sits underneath everything I do here.
Because when we are met in that way, something can soften. We can breathe. We can begin to see more clearly, trust ourselves again and find our own way forward.

Hello, I'm Teri. Welcome to The True Self. Life can become noisy and overwhelming and sometimes we often lose touch with what we feel, what we need and even with ourselves. So The True Self is a space to slow down, to be honest about what's really here for you and to have some of what you're carrying gently reflected back to you. I will take my time to read, to listen and to respond to every word that you speak or write and share with me because when we're given enough space to really hear ourselves something begins to shift within us and in our environments we can understand ourselves differently, find a little more clarity and just begin to meet our relationships and our lives in a different way. Now there are different ways to enter this space. You might arrive here as a parent, as a young person or simply someone wanting to understand yourself more deeply. You really don't need to know where to begin from. You can simply begin with whatever is here and this can be your place to land.
What this is not
A Place to Land is not therapy, counselling or crisis support. It is a private written space for reflective, relational support. It is not monitored 24 hours a day, and there is no live conversation. If you are in danger, or someone you are writing about is, please use the emergency numbers on the Questions page rather than writing here.
My background
I’m a Compassionate Inquiry® Practitioner, and a certified Conscious Parenting Coach trained in Dr. Shefali Tsabary’s methodology. My work is also informed by Internal Family Systems, Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication, and the teachings of Eckhart Tolle and other teachers whose work has shaped my understanding of presence, relationship and inner life.
Much of what I bring to this work has also been shaped by my own experience of loving and supporting people through difficult times. I know how easy it is to lose yourself when someone you love is struggling, and how lonely it can feel when you’re trying so hard to get things right.
A Place to Land grew from that place too. It’s the kind of support I believe we all need sometimes... somewhere to be honest, to be heard, and to find our way back to ourselves.
Somewhere safe enough for truth.
