About Theresa

Theresa Cadd works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, addictions and trauma and abuse using a mixture of client-centred, cognitive and psychodynamic methods. She is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society. She has five years' experience in counselling work.

Theresa uses straightforward talking and structured techniques to help people manage problems that affect day-to-day life. Sessions draw on Client-Centred Therapy for listening and understanding, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for practical changes in thinking and behaviour, and psychodynamic ideas to look at repeating patterns. She also uses solution-focused steps to set short-term goals.

She trained and began practising in 2018. Early roles included work with a mental health charity and counselling in education, where she supported students and staff with a wide range of difficulties. That experience shaped her ability to adapt the way she works to different situations.

In private practice Theresa offers a mix of evidence-based tools such as CBT techniques, mindfulness exercises and communication strategies. Sessions aim to help people with issues like anger, sleep problems, eating concerns, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She also covers specific areas such as attachment and abandonment, codependency and caregiver stress.

Theresa describes her work as collaborative: she listens and then agrees practical steps with the person in the room. Her approach balances short-term solutions with attention to deeper patterns, depending on what the client needs. Work is carried out in English and she does not accept international clients.

How her therapeutic approaches work for online sessions

Theresa uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise listening and understanding; this approach focuses on the person’s experience and aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental way of talking through problems. It can help when someone needs someone to reflect back what they are feeling and thinking.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which uses structured techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try out new behaviours. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep issues and practical coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Theresa will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then agree a way of working that combines short-term steps and deeper reflection where appropriate. This is a collaborative decision made with the client.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit counselling around work, childcare or study by removing travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins or regular weekly meetings depending on what suits a person's routine. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and pacing to suit the online setting.
