About Billel
Billel Addad is a BACP counsellor with 16 years of experience who helps people facing stress and anxiety. He works with adults who are coping with depression, addiction, trauma, relationship problems and life transitions. His manner is warm and direct, aiming to help people feel heard and to find practical steps forward.
Billel blends talking therapy with goal-focused techniques. Sessions are tailored to each person rather than using a fixed formula.
Background and approach
He listens for patterns that keep difficulties alive and then works with clients to try alternative ways of thinking and relating. He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current ones. Cognitive behavioural tools are used to spot thought patterns and test unhelpful beliefs.
Emotionally-focused approaches help people express and understand strong feelings in close relationships. Billel has supported people with grief, post-traumatic stress, panic attacks, eating and sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem, and difficulties around intimacy and caregiving. He also works with challenges around career, life purpose and coping with change.
Clients may use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Sessions form a collaborative process where goals and methods are reviewed as therapy progresses. He accepts clients based in the United Kingdom and also works with international clients in English.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Billel uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach helps when difficulties involve trust, closeness or repeating painful relationship cycles.He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and building practical coping skills. CBT is often useful for anxiety, panic and mood-related problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a plan based on a client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers different ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls can fit into a busy day and need less bandwidth, while chat or messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or caring responsibilities and to keep continuity when life changes.
