Theresa Cadd, BACP, NCPS

Theresa Cadd is an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor and CBT therapist based in Swansea, South Wales, United Kingdom. She works from a person-centred stance, blending structured cognitive-behavioural techniques with broader psychotherapeutic methods to respond to each person's unique needs. As an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), she combines professional standards with ongoing professional development to keep her practice current and evidence-informed.

Since qualifying, Theresa has focused on creating a non-judgmental environment where people can explore challenges such as depression, anxiety, grief, relationship and family difficulties, addictions, trauma, and a wide range of emotional and behavioural concerns. Her integrative training allows her to draw from client-centred listening, psychodynamic reflection, and CBT tools so that therapy is practical, tailored, and responsive to the individual.

Theresa gained valuable experience working with the mental health charity MIND and later supported students and staff within educational settings, work that strengthened her ability to adapt interventions for different life stages and situations. Now in private practice, she offers a range of evidence-based techniques including cognitive-behavioural exercises, mindfulness practices, and communication strategies, working collaboratively so clients can set and pursue meaningful goals.

Theresa emphasises compassion, patience, and respect in her work, helping people build confidence, understanding, and lasting change through a therapeutic relationship that honours each person’s story and aspirations.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Theresa commonly integrates client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy into her online practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening with empathy and supporting a person’s own capacity for growth - it is helpful for building self-belief, improving relationships, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) uses structured, practical techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to develop coping strategies, which can be effective for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related concerns. Psychodynamic elements may also be used to explore repeated patterns and relational issues, offering insight into how past experiences influence current feelings and choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Theresa works collaboratively with clients to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adapt the work so the approach remains relevant and helpful.

Online therapy with Theresa is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions and access support from wherever a client is located within the United Kingdom, while enabling therapists and licensed professionals to deliver consistent, goal-focused care.
