Theresa Cadd, BACP, NCPS

Theresa uses client-centred work to create an attentive, non-judgemental space where people can speak about what matters to them. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people find their own pace for change. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT in sessions often involves clear exercises, behavioural experiments and practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood or stress. Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Theresa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that suit those needs. She adapts the balance of listening, exploration and structured tasks in collaboration with the client. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well for a quieter audio-only check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter updates, written reflections or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options give flexibility for meetings and allow practical tools to be shared and practised between sessions. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals often find online work effective for progressing therapy while fitting around everyday commitments.
