About Theresa
Theresa Cadd is a counsellor accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has practised since 2018 and brings five years of professional experience to her work in the United Kingdom. Theresa lists support for stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief and depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and life changes among her areas of focus.
Theresa works from an integrative standpoint, combining client-centred ways of working with cognitive-behavioural structure and psychodynamic thinking. Sessions tend to mix talking, practical exercises, and reflective noticing. She uses CBT techniques, mindfulness exercises, and communication strategies where they fit the issue at hand.
Her background includes roles at MIND and counselling within educational settings. Those posts exposed her to a wide range of problems and helped her develop flexibility with different ages and circumstances. That experience feeds into how she structures sessions now in private practice.
Theresa aims to help people who feel stuck or uncertain about what comes next after changes at work, in relationships, or in health. She helps people explore what matters to them, look at patterns that hold them back, and try practical steps to test different ways forward.
Practical elements of her work include short structured tasks from CBT alongside open conversation about family, attachment and past experiences. Sessions are collaborative and goal-aware, with attention to building confidence, clearer communication, and steady coping skills.
If you are considering a therapist to help with life purpose, career shifts or relationship strain, Theresa offers an integrative approach that combines reflective work with practical tools.
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Theresa draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy as core ways of working. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person, helping them notice their own priorities and choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers structured exercises to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural experiments to see what changes.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Theresa will discuss goals, needs and preferences and use that conversation to choose which methods to try. That makes sessions collaborative rather than fixed on a single technique.
Confirm the exact online session options before you book because the biography does not list formats. When available, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel, and allow shorter or focused check-ins when needed. They also let people choose whether to work with or without video, which can help if calmer audio conversations feel better at times. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online work to maintain continuity after life changes, but check the current session formats during booking to be certain.
