About Theresa

Theresa Cadd is a counsellor and CBT therapist based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She holds BACP and NCPS accreditation and lists stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns among her areas of practice. Theresa describes working with grief, depression, addictions, trauma and a range of other life stresses.

She trained as an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor and uses a mix of methods to suit different needs. That mix includes client-centred work, psychodynamic ideas, solution-focused strategies and cognitive behavioural techniques. Theresa describes CBT as a structured way to look at thoughts and habits and try different responses.

Her background includes roles at MIND and counselling work in education, where she supported students and staff. Those settings shaped how she adapts approaches for everyday problems and practical pressures. She says continuing professional development is an important part of her practice.

In sessions she uses specific tools such as cognitive-behavioural techniques, mindfulness exercises and communication strategies. The emphasis is on practical skills people can use between meetings to manage symptoms and relationships.

Theresa works from a private practice model and uses the counselling approaches she lists to help people address issues such as parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, body image and coping with life changes. She asks people to set clear goals so the work stays focused and measurable.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Theresa lists Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy among the approaches she uses. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting; it can help with anxiety, low mood and habits that cause problems. Client-centred work prioritises the person's own perspective and supports clearer decision-making and emotional processing.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and decide together which methods to try. That means sessions can shift between structured CBT exercises and more reflective, client-led conversation as required.

Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these options so therapy fits around work, childcare and other commitments.
