About Theresa
Theresa Cadd is a counsellor based in Swansea, South Wales. She qualified in 2018 and brings five years of professional practice to her work. Theresa uses a mix of approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and other life difficulties.
Theresa offers straightforward, kind support. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. She uses practical tools and gentle listening to help clients find clearer thinking and calmer responses to everyday pressures.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with the mental health charity MIND and counselling roles in education. Those settings gave her experience with a wide range of concerns, from grief and depression to relationship and family problems. Theresa draws on client-centred ideas to place the person’s experience at the heart of sessions.
She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques for unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that recur in relationships and feelings. Therapy sessions may include mindfulness exercises, communication strategies and CBT-style worksheets when these suit the person. Theresa aims to tailor every session so it fits the client’s pace and priorities.
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). Sessions are offered in English and take place online through a range of formats.
Approaches to online therapy and how they help
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. The counsellor listens without judgement and supports clients to find their own answers, which can help with low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life transitions.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour, which is often useful for anxiety, sleeping problems and mood concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Theresa will talk through options and try techniques that match the client’s goals, preferences and day-to-day needs. The choice is collaborative and may adapt over time as progress is made.
Online sessions use video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits quick check-ins or when a shorter contact fits a busy day. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while still accessing structured support from registered or accredited professionals.
