About Theresa
Theresa Cadd is a counsellor based in Swansea, South Wales with five years' experience. She holds BACP and NCPS accreditation and works from an integrative perspective that blends several therapeutic styles. Theresa aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so people can tackle problems they bring to sessions.
She uses a client-centred stance that prioritises listening and understanding. That means sessions focus on what matters most to the person in the room and on building trust at a comfortable pace. Theresa also applies cognitive-behavioural techniques to help people spot unhelpful patterns and try different ways of thinking and behaving.
Theresa has worked for the mental health charity MIND and within educational settings. Those roles exposed her to a wide range of concerns and helped her learn how to adapt her approach for different situations. She draws on this background when supporting people through anxiety, depression, grief and relationship stresses.
Therapeutic work often includes practical exercises such as simple mindfulness practices, communication strategies and behavioural tasks to try between sessions. Theresa frames these as collaborative experiments to see what helps in everyday life. She aims to support greater self-belief, clearer boundaries and steadier coping.
People come to Theresa with many issues, including stress, trauma and codependency. Sessions are offered in English and are shaped around each person's goals.

How Theresa uses therapy approaches online
Theresa often works from a client-centred position, which means sessions begin with careful listening and an emphasis on the person's priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes the goals of their work together.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, a structured method that looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, unhelpful habits and problems with sleep or eating, because it gives clear strategies to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa will discuss different methods and agree on what to try based on your needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.
