About Theresa
Theresa Cadd is an Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and CBT Therapist with BACP and NCPS accreditation and five years' experience. Based in the United Kingdom, she works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addiction, and related issues such as ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Theresa uses a blend of approaches to match each person’s situation. She draws on client-centred listening to understand what matters most. She uses cognitive behavioural tools for practical change and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time.
Her early work at MIND exposed her to a wide range of difficulties. She later supported students and staff in educational settings, which sharpened her ability to adapt how she works to different lives and routines. That range informs the way she plans sessions now in private practice.
In sessions she offers structured CBT techniques alongside reflective talking work. Examples include thought records, practical communication strategies, and mindfulness exercises you can try between meetings. The emphasis is on clear steps and noticing what changes over time.
Theresa describes her role as helping people clarify goals and build confidence to meet them. She will listen without judgement and work with you to decide which methods fit your situation. If you are part of a blended household or managing family transitions, she lists blended family issues among her focus areas and can help you talk through related stresses and communication problems.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person in front of the counsellor. It helps when someone wants space to talk and to be heard without direction. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is practical and structured. It uses short exercises and techniques such as thought records and behavioural experiments to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together you will try methods that suit your needs and adjust them as you go, so the plan can change if something does not fit.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, study or family life and can allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to help keep therapy practical and manageable alongside everyday responsibilities.
