About Theresa
Theresa Cadd trained as an Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and works from Swansea in South Wales. She holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. Theresa draws on five years' practice to support people through stressful and painful times.
Theresa takes a straightforward, person-centred approach. She listens without judging and helps people put words to what matters most.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build trust, increase self-belief and make small, practical changes that fit daily life. Her work blends a few different methods to suit each person. She uses cognitive-behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts and patterns.
Psychodynamic ideas can help uncover long-standing feelings and relationship patterns. Solution-focused steps are used to plan achievable next moves. Theresa has worked for MIND and within education, supporting a broad range of concerns.
That background informs how she adapts sessions for the issues people bring, from anxiety and depression to grief and relationship strain. The aim is always clear and practical progress. Theresa offers exercises and tools such as mindfulness practices, communication strategies and CBT-style tasks when useful.
Her style is patient and compassionate, with an emphasis on collaboration. She encourages people to set goals and measures what helps along the way.

How Theresa works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. CBT uses structured exercises and practical tasks to reduce anxiety, manage mood or change unhelpful habits.
Psychodynamic ideas explore how past experiences and relationship patterns shape current difficulties. This can be useful for understanding deeper emotional patterns and recurring problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Theresa will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then agree a way forward that mixes methods if needed. The process is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy schedules and the option to avoid travel time. If you need shorter check-ins, that can be arranged. The biography does not specify which session formats she offers, so please confirm the exact options available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to maintain therapy alongside work, caregiving and everyday life.
