Theresa Cadd, BACP, NCPS

Theresa Cadd is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials which are shown as BACP and NCPS, and she works online offering various session formats. Theresa aims to make starting therapy straightforward and approachable for people who are feeling overwhelmed.

Theresa adopts a client-centred stance and uses practical tools drawn from cognitive behavioural therapy and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her - symptoms, relationships, daily stresses and the history that shapes those difficulties. She uses simple, structured techniques when helpful and space for reflection when deeper patterns arise.

Common areas she supports include anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, stress, addictions and trauma. Theresa also works with issues such as body image, parenting strain, communication problems, codependency and compassion fatigue. She tailors the work to the issue presented and the person’s goals.

Theresa gained early experience working for a mental health charity and later in educational settings, which gave her practice with a wide range of people and problems. That background informs how she balances short-term practical help with longer reflective work.

Online sessions can be by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Theresa asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire to start, then schedule sessions according to therapist availability and their subscription plan.

How Theresa uses therapeutic approaches online

Theresa commonly combines client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in online sessions. Client-centred therapy puts the person and their experience at the heart of the work, offering space to be heard and helping people find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Theresa will discuss goals, preferences and the nature of the problem and then agree a way of working together. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs shift over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls are good for a conversational session with visual cues. Phone work can suit people with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflection and flexibility around busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and daily life while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
