About Conrad
Conrad Cave offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, grief or low mood. He helps those wrestling with relationship issues, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem or questions about identity. Conrad works with people who have experienced trauma and abuse and those coping with ADHD-related difficulties.
He welcomes conversations in English and accepts international clients based in the United Kingdom. Conrad uses a blend of approaches to suit each person.
How Conrad works
He draws on client-centred work to make sessions person-led and collaborative. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to build grounding and calm.
When motivation is a barrier, Conrad uses motivational interviewing to help people find what matters most to them and take small steps forward. For trauma-related difficulties he includes trauma-focused work to address painful memories and their impact on daily life. He adapts the pace to what feels manageable for the person in front of him.
Conrad has ten years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded here as supplied. He offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Fees vary with location and a subscription model is used and can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability. That process helps pair practical needs with the approach that will work best.

Online support options
How these approaches work online
Conrad commonly combines client-centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness. Client-centred therapy means sessions follow the person's agenda and priorities, creating space to talk and be heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting patterns of thought and behaviour and trying practical alternatives to reduce distress. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce reactivity and bring steadiness between sessions.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful, try approaches in session, and adjust as the person's goals and needs become clearer. This means the plan can change over time if something else appears more useful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to get support. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, people who prefer typing, or when it helps to fit a session into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep sessions regular and to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel.
