About Theresa
Theresa Cadd is a counsellor based in Swansea, South Wales. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has practised since 2018. Theresa aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through worries and work towards clearer goals.
Theresa uses an integrative way of working that draws on several therapeutic models. She blends client-centred listening with structured cognitive-behavioural techniques and psychodynamic ideas to suit the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Sessions often include practical tools such as thought records, simple mindfulness exercises, and communication strategies to try between meetings. Her earlier roles include work with the mental health charity MIND and counselling in educational settings. Those posts gave experience with a wide mix of concerns and helped shape a flexible, grounded style.
Theresa has five years of clinical practice since qualifying in 2018 and continues professional learning through courses and workshops. People come to Theresa with a broad range of issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family problems, addiction issues, trauma and identity-related concerns such as LGBT matters. She also lists focus areas like body image, attachment and caregiver stress among others.
Theresa adapts the pace and techniques to match each person’s needs. When someone starts work with Theresa they can expect clear, practical steps alongside open listening. The aim is to strengthen self-belief, improve coping skills, and help clients make changes that feel right for them.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Theresa often uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening carefully and helping people find their own answers through compassionate, non-judgemental conversation. This approach can help with low self-esteem, life changes and relationship worries.She also employs Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), a structured method that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and unhelpful patterns the client wants to change.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa will discuss your needs and preferences and suggest which methods might suit you best. She adapts techniques over time so the work remains relevant to your goals.
If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find these practical benefits helpful while they focus on coping strategies, communication skills and steady steps towards change.
