Why Talk2Tessa – Where Psychology Meets AI

AI for emotional support often feels too long, too vague, or too cold. Talk2Tessa is different — created by a psychologist with 15 years of experience, blending:

  • ACT – Make space for difficult thoughts and feelings, and take small, values-based steps toward what matters.
  • Self-compassion – Replace pressure with kindness and patience, so growth feels possible even on hard days.
  • AI Coaching Prompt Flows – Ready-to-use scripts that adapt to your reflections in real time.

It’s a safe rhythm when you want to grow, a kind voice when you feel stuck, and a warm guide when life feels heavy.

Meet Tessa – Your Guide in Gentle Self-Help

Hi, I’m Tessa — psychologist (MSc), ACT & self-compassion specialist, and founder of Talk2Tessa.

I created this platform to make mental self-help more accessible — not through quick fixes, but through compassionate, structured support you can return to anytime. Think of it as a kind, steady companion, helping you explore your inner world through Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), self-compassion, and thoughtfully guided AI support.

My vision is that AI can make psychologist-designed self-help available 24/7 — not to replace human connection, but to serve as a bridge, bringing warm guidance right to your fingertips whenever you need it.

Take a look around and explore what feels right for you — your journey begins with one soft step.
