Theresa Cadd , BACP, NCPS

Theresa Cadd is an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor and CBT therapist based in Swansea, South Wales, United Kingdom. She is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), and she qualified in 2018. Theresa combines a range of therapeutic methods to tailor support to each person's needs, guided by compassion, patience, and a non-judgmental stance.

Her approach draws on client-centred principles to build trust and strengthen self-belief, while also using structured cognitive-behavioural techniques to address patterns of thinking and behaviour that contribute to distress. She also integrates psychodynamic ideas and inner child work when helpful, offering a flexible, personalised path toward understanding and change. Theresa uses practical tools such as mindfulness exercises and communication strategies alongside therapeutic conversation to support positive outcomes.

Early in her career she developed experience at the mental health charity MIND, working with a wide range of people, and later supported students and staff within the education sector. She now runs a private practice where she continues professional development through advanced training and workshops to keep her practice informed by current methods. Theresa aims to work collaboratively with clients, making their goals central to the therapeutic process and supporting them in taking steps toward the life they want.

Integrative therapeutic approaches for online care

Theresa commonly uses client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy in her work. Client-centred therapy focuses on building a supportive, empathetic relationship that helps people explore their feelings and strengthen self-trust; it is especially useful for issues involving self-esteem, relationships, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns, making it effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Theresa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Over time the plan can be adjusted as progress unfolds, with the therapist and client deciding together how to proceed.

Online therapy with Theresa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing practical flexibility for busy lives and differing comfort levels. These options make it easier to book appointments around work, caregiving, or mobility needs, and allow people to access support from wherever they are. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver meaningful, evidence-informed care through these formats, helping clients move toward their goals in ways that suit their circumstances.
