Theresa Cadd , BACP, NCPS

Theresa Cadd is an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor and CBT therapist based in Swansea, South Wales, United Kingdom. She combines structured cognitive-behavioural techniques with a person-centered, psychodynamic-informed approach to tailor support for each individual's needs. Theresa works with people facing a wide range of concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family difficulties, addiction, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, and issues around self-esteem, intimacy, and identity.

With five years of clinical experience, Theresa brings patience, compassion, and a calm presence to her work. She holds membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), both UK professional organisations for counsellors and psychotherapists. Theresa keeps her practice current through ongoing professional development and specialist training, applying evidence-informed methods to help clients create meaningful change.

In practice she offers a mix of cognitive-behavioural tools, mindfulness exercises, communication strategies, and reflective psychodynamic techniques, adapting these to each person's preferences and goals. Her person-centred stance aims to support self-belief, trust, and personal growth, helping clients build practical skills while exploring deeper patterns that affect their wellbeing. Theresa formerly worked with MIND and in educational settings, experiences that helped her respond to diverse needs and life stages. In private practice she focuses on collaborative, client-led work to help people move toward the life they want.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Theresa Cadd

Theresa draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to guide her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting, non-judgemental relationship in which the client’s own goals and values shape the pace and direction of change. It is useful for people seeking emotional support, self-exploration, and stronger self-worth. CBT offers structured techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, making it helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day coping challenges.

She also integrates psychodynamic ideas to help explore recurring patterns and early influences that affect relationships and self-concept. Theresa approaches the choice of method collaboratively - she will work with each person to identify which combination of approaches best fits their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single model.

Online therapy with Theresa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, and location. These options allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care, access timely support, and adapt session formats to what feels most effective for the individual.
