About Theresa
Theresa Cadd is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety and major life changes. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and works from a person-centred, collaborative stance. Theresa aims to make sessions straightforward and kind so people can focus on practical steps forward.
Theresa uses a mix of talking therapies to match each person's needs. She often draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and small experiments to change day-to-day habits.
Background and approach
Psychodynamic ideas help when patterns from the past keep repeating in current relationships and life choices. Her background includes work with the mental health charity MIND and counselling roles in education. Those settings taught her to adapt sessions for different pressures and life stages while keeping the work clear and goal-focused.
Theresa now runs a independent practice where she combines structured work with open listening. Typical issues she helps people with include depression, grief, relationship and family problems, addiction concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, self-esteem and identity questions, and stress from caring responsibilities. She also supports people dealing with trauma-related effects, ADHD and bipolar-related challenges.
In sessions Theresa offers practical tools such as thought-tracking, simple mindfulness exercises and communication strategies. She encourages people to set manageable goals and reviews progress together. Appointments are offered in several online formats to fit different lifestyles.
Therapeutic approaches suited to online work
Theresa commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive-behavioural methods. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions; it is helpful for building trust and exploring feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns, which suits problems like anxiety, sleep and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Theresa will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses to reflect what is most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging can suit people who prefer typed conversation or need to fit support around busy days. These formats make it easier to access therapy from different locations and routines while keeping the focus on practical work and steady progress.
