About Theresa
Theresa Cadd is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She trained as an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor and works alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy approaches. Theresa lists concerns she supports including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family difficulties, addiction issues, and guilt and shame.
Theresa uses a mix of client-centred listening and structured CBT techniques in sessions. She draws on psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused steps when they fit a person's needs. Sessions include practical exercises such as thought records, mindfulness practices and communication strategies where helpful.
Her background includes work with the mental health charity MIND and several years providing counselling in educational settings. That experience brought her regular contact with a wide range of life problems and different ages and roles within schools and colleges. It also shaped her flexible way of working in private practice.
In therapy she aims to work collaboratively on clear goals. Theresa will help people notice patterns, test new ways of coping and practise small changes between sessions. She describes an initial period of assessment and goal-setting followed by focused work using agreed techniques.
Theresa offers evidence-based tools alongside open conversation. People who come for help with issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, body image, parenting stress, codependency, and guilt and shame may find this mix of listening and practical skills useful. To start, she asks people to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Theresa uses client-centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her practice. Client-centred work focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience, helping them make sense of feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is more structured and looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, using practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice repeated patterns from earlier relationships and how these affect present life. Those reflections can help when problems feel rooted in long-term patterns rather than single events. Theresa treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process and will work with each person to choose methods that suit their needs and goals.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow quieter check-ins during breaks. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can help people connect in ways that suit their routine. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often adapt pacing, homework and exercises so sessions fit everyday life rather than expecting large blocks of time.
