About Teena Quinn
Teena Quinn is a credentialed practitioner in Australia with more than 10 years of professional experience and a Fellowship in Lifestyle Medicine. The Fellowship in Lifestyle Medicine is an advanced qualification focused on using lifestyle-based approaches to support overall wellbeing, and the ACA credential is listed among her professional qualifications.
She has worked with people from diverse backgrounds and spent several years supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Her clinical focus includes stress and anxiety, functional neurological disorders, sleep difficulties, depression, and helping people navigate major life changes.
Living with multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, Graves' disease, POTS, and being legally blind gives her both professional insight and lived perspective. That combination informs her practice and enables her to engage with clients from a place of genuine understanding.
Teena treats each person with dignity, respect, sensitivity, and empathy, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit individual needs and goals. She values the courage it takes to seek a more meaningful life and aims to support and empower clients as they pursue change. While maintaining a professional approach, a bit of "bush girl" speech may appear in her style - it is simply part of how she connects with people.

Could Online Therapy Be a Good Fit?
Many people ask whether remote therapy can make a meaningful difference. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes - research and clinical experience indicate that online therapy can be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.One major benefit of remote care is flexibility. People may choose the mode of connection that fits their needs and comfort level, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility can help make therapy easier to fit into busy lives.
Licensed professionals offer these options, and clients are able to request a different therapist at any time if they prefer a new fit. For many, online therapy provides accessible, practical support from qualified therapists while maintaining the core elements of talk-based care.
