About Theresa
Counsellor Theresa Cadd is a BACP and NCPS member with five years' practice. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns among other issues. Theresa is based in the United Kingdom and offers person-focused counselling informed by several therapeutic models.
Theresa trained as an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor and practises alongside cognitive behavioural techniques. She draws on client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to help people make sense of patterns and feelings. Sessions can include practical strategies for mood, sleep and coping, as well as conversations about past events that still affect day-to-day life.
Her early work with the mental health charity MIND exposed her to many kinds of difficulty. She later worked in educational settings supporting students and staff, which broadened how she adapts sessions to different lives. That experience informs how she explains ideas and suggests small, practical steps.
Theresa uses evidence-based tools such as CBT methods, mindfulness exercises and communication strategies when these suit a person’s aims. She describes her way of working as collaborative: setting goals together and checking what helps. The practical focus might include behaviour experiments, thought records or communication exercises.
Sessions are run from her private practice and are intended to help with a wide range of concerns such as grief, depression, addictions, trauma, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, ADHD and career matters. People who want to begin are asked to follow the site steps to match and book a first session.
How therapeutic approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. It encourages the person to set the pace and explore what matters most, which can help with self-esteem, grief and relationship worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link. It uses practical tasks such as thought records and behaviour experiments to tackle anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and coping with change.
Psychodynamic work pays attention to patterns from earlier relationships and how they show up now. It can help people understand repeated problems such as attachment issues, abandonment feelings or impulses that cause distress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that match a person’s needs and preferences. That means agreeing together what to focus on and checking what helps as sessions progress.
The biography does not specify which remote formats are offered, so confirm the available session types before you book. Online work can make planning easier and fit sessions into a busy week. It can also allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and suit people who prefer not to be on camera, depending on the offered format.
