Theresa Cadd

As a qualified integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor and CBT therapist, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to our therapeutic journey together when life’s challenges seem insurmountable.

I adopt a variety of strategies and approaches tailored to supporting positive change for clients experiencing a wide range of psychological and mental health issues. By drawing from diverse therapeutic models, I offer a comprehensive and personalised approach that meets your specific needs.

I qualified in psychotherapeutic counselling in 2018 and enhanced my counselling skills working for MIND, the mental health charity, supporting a diverse range of clients facing a variety of struggles and challenges. The invaluable experience and insights learned have equipped me with the ability to help clients navigate self-development, understanding, and acceptance to foster positive and lasting change.

I then spent several years working as a counsellor within education, providing support for students and staff facing a variety of challenges. This role further enhanced my ability to adapt my approach to meet the needs of individuals within an education setting.

Today, in my private practice, I continue to apply my skills and experience to help people from all walks of life, ensuring that each person’s goals and aspirations are at the forefront of our work together. I am also deeply committed to continuous professional development, regularly engaging in advanced training, attending workshops and seminars to stay up to date with the latest practices and methodologies in the field of counselling.

As an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor, using a person-centred approach allows me to support you with self-belief, trust, and confidence to facilitate personal growth and positive change. I firmly believe that by embracing our individuality and unique perspectives, we can make meaningful changes that truly resonate with us. Building a strong therapeutic relationship with you, fostering trust and openness, is crucial.

I offer a variety of evidence-based tools and techniques tailored to address the specific issues impacting your life – all within a compassionate, safe, and non-judgemental space.

Therapeutic modalities I might draw upon include person-centred theory, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Psychodynamic theory, inner child work, alongside wider mindfulness exercises and communication strategies.

Sometimes the difficulties we face in life seem to keep us stuck, lost, confused, and alone.

Whatever we try, nothing seems to make a real difference. Life presents us all with many turning points, transitions, and dilemmas, no matter what age we are - change can happen for you.

Counselling is a great way of exploring your inner and outer world - understanding all the how, why, what, where, and when of your life circumstances. So, you can take stock, gain clarity, and consider your challenges with deeper insight and perspectives to move forward in your life.
