About Theresa
Theresa Cadd is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of clinical experience. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and works online with people facing a broad range of life challenges. Theresa aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people who are nervous about starting.
Her background includes work for a national mental health charity and several years supporting students and staff in education. That time helped her learn to adapt her style to different needs and to use clear, simple tools that people can try between sessions.
How Theresa works
Theresa uses a mix of approaches so the work fits the person rather than the other way around. She draws on client-centred principles to build trust and to help people feel heard. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful patterns and develop step-by-step ways to change them.
Sessions tend to be calm and focused. She offers practical strategies for stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, addictions, trauma, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and related issues. She also helps with things like body image, codependency, communication problems and coping with life changes.
Theresa aims to work collaboratively so goals are clear from the start. People can expect straightforward tools, mindfulness exercises and communication strategies that support lasting change. The emphasis is on small, achievable steps and building confidence along the way.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Theresa commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques to guide online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and building trust so people feel understood and supported; it helps when someone needs a safe space to talk things through. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve mood and change unhelpful patterns. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Theresa collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. She will discuss options, try strategies in session, and adjust the approach as progress is made. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions are simpler when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts in writing and fit therapy into busy days. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and other commitments, while still allowing for focused, goal-oriented therapeutic work.Start online instead of waiting
