About Theresa
Theresa Cadd is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has practised since 2018 and has five years' experience working with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family difficulties, addictions, trauma and ADHD.
Theresa offers a direct and practical way of working. She uses structured techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches alongside more exploratory psychodynamic ideas. Sessions focus on what you want to change and on finding steps you can try between meetings.
She spent early years of practice at the mental health charity MIND, where she worked with a wide range of people. She later provided counselling in the education sector, supporting students and staff with personal and study-related pressures. Those roles shaped how she adapts to different situations and age ranges within the adult population.
In private practice she combines client-centred listening with evidence-based tools. Examples include CBT techniques, mindfulness exercises and communication strategies. Theresa aims to make therapy feel practical and relevant to everyday pressures like work, study and relationships.
Her manner is patient and respectful. She encourages people to identify clear goals and to review progress regularly. Before booking, check which session formats are currently offered so arrangements fit your routine.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centred therapy starts by listening and helping clients set their own goals. In an online setting this looks like checking priorities early and using the session time to address what matters most right now. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behaviour and testing small changes. Online sessions can use worksheets, short practices and agreed actions between meetings to build momentum.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods suit your needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision is reviewed as therapy progresses so the approach can be adapted if needed.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work or travel and can reduce the time needed for commuting. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or less reliance on camera when that helps you concentrate.
