I’m so pleased I found Theresa, she’s has made me feel very comfortable talking through my thoughts and feelings. Our sessions are very fluid but she still manages to guide me through my own mind and the challenges I’m facing. I’ve seen a huge improvement in my mental health since we started talking.

More about Theresa

  • 5 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP, NCPS

Dear Reader, my name is Theresa and I live in Swansea which is in South Wales, UK. I am qualified as an Integrative Counsellor, Accredited MBACP and Accredited member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society NCPS. I use my knowledge and skills in a way that is most helpful to you by adapting my approach to suit your individual needs and preferences. I understand the importance that we accept our individuality and uniqueness, our personal view of ourselves and the world once identified, is how we are able to make changes that work best for ourselves.

I have been working as a counsellor since qualifying in 2018. My counselling student hours was completed at a Mental Health Charity named MIND and whilst there I gained an immense amount of invaluable learning, understanding and knowledge. Working with many clients that came into the charity with a diverse range of issues, requesting my help to support and work with them in order to aid their path forwards in self development, understanding acceptance and positive changes.

My working methods strongly stems from my compassion, kindness, patience and understanding that there are times in our lives when we are struggling, having someone to talk to; who listens without judgement; hears without interrupting and offers a safe and secure place for you to feel able to talk though problems is of a great importance in building a strong therapeutic relationship. Based on my initial person centered approach, I will enable your self belief, trust, confidence and personal growth expand into positive changes.

I use a variety of evidenced-based tools and techniques that will support you in understanding the issues impacting your life today, and more importantly help you get to live your life the way you want and deserve.

I work in collaboration with you – your goals are my goals - we will be on this journey together.

I very much look forward to working with you and thank you for taking the time to read about me and what I am able to offer as your therapist.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Theresa has been absolutely incredible and I couldn’t have asked for a better therapist to provide me with the support and coping mechanisms that I needed to grow and build my confidence. Theresa is warm, friendly and I felt completely safe opening up to her about my problems. You can see she is actively taking notes and listening to you when you speak and always provides great advice off the back of our conversations. Cannot recommend enough.

Words cannot explain the amount of support I’ve received from my therapist Theresa Cadd. She was the first therapist I was matched with and for that I value BetterHelp greatly. Theresa has been with me through the hardest time of my life and I simply can’t imagine getting through my mom’s illness and death without her guidance and wisdom. Theresa is kind, compassionate, open minded and direct when necessary - she understands me and my unique needs as an individual and does not push “social norms” on me, yet works with me to achieve my personal goals and progress in my own growth as a human. I am still shocked at how good of a match she is as my therapist and find it somewhat magical that I have her helping me through everything I go through. Theresa is very qualified as a therapist and clearly a very self aware human who herself strives to be the best person she can be. I would recommend her if you are looking for a therapist who will truly take the time to understand you and support you yet be honest and real with you in the kindest way. I truly value my therapists positive mindset and her view on the world and the human experience. Thank you Theresa and thank you BetterHelp for carefully picking Theresa as my therapist. I am extremely grateful.

Theresa has been amazing throughout the very difficult process I am undergoing.

Theresa is like my best friend and kind of a mother figure. After each session I discover something new about myself from a different perspective. She listens in a way that makes me feel accepted, heard and cared for. I like when she honestly and emphatically tells me about my negative patterns or false stories I tell myself. Having Theresa by my side during my toughest and loneliest times was a blessing . Thank you for everything Theresa.

Theresa is a wonderful therapist to work with, she understands my main concerns and allows me to guide the discussions we have each week.

Theresa ha stwlaly helped me to challenge negative ideas and irrational thoughts and false beliefs that I previously had about myself and how I handle things. She's helped me to prioritise self care and being less critical of myself, how to create and maintain healthy boundaries as well as how to navigate more difficult personal relationships. Working with Theresa has been a very positive experience because she encourages regular chat, offers work sheets for tackling some difficult areas for personal growth. It's like talking to a friend is therapy with Theresa. I cannot recommend her enough as a healthcare professional.

Theresa has been an absolute pleasure to work with- so warm and friendly and I would happily recommend her. This is my first experience with therapy and Theresa has worked with me in a way that I found comfortable and helpful. Although difficult at times, therapy has overall been an extremely positive experience and Theresa has given me so many tools to take forward with me to use when dealing with the issues we discussed. I will miss our weekly chats and would happily work with Theresa again should I decide to return to therapy in the future .

Theresa has been an invaluable addition to my mental health betterment journey. I've have been met with nothing but positive experiences, professionalism and kindness throughout our sessions and through some very dark moments. Working with a therapist can be tasking when suffering deeply with depression and other ailments, not only because it takes so much effort to simply attend a session but to be present is truly difficult. That's why I believe that Theresa has been the right choice of therapist for me from Betterhelp, I haven't felt comfortable with opening up privately to someone before she has been ever supportive and continues to check in with me throughout the break periods between sessions and that alone gave me comfort that she not only has my interests in mind but she also understands that my lacking ability to continually check in on journal entries or to care for myself enough to reach out. I truly believe I would be lost without Betterhelp and Theresa especially right now when times are an incredible struggle. Thanks Theresa, if YOU are reading this

Since being matched with Theresa she has made me feel completely at ease and actively encourages me to message between live sessions.

Theresa is very different and I am starting to feel better able to cope with the stressors that are affecting my life and were making it hard for me to function.

Prior signing up I was really doubtful whether the app can provide me with a counsellor who is capable to manage my personality disorder as I had a lot of previous disappointments where I felt there is no help. I am extremely grateful to have her, she is amazing. Within 10 minutes of our first conversation I felt like she understands me and gave me a straight spot on feedback regarding my goals which made me feel like she knows me. I've had only 2 sessions so far but I feel like my life turned round and I made significant changes what I was so scared to do before. I feel secure and safe with her and I feel like she has a lot of knowledge, understanding and experience to support me through my mental health journey. If I need her she is always available and fulfilled my wishes of having homework every week and including my previously learnt DBT skills. I could go on and on, she is amazing and I'm lucky to have her. One of my best decisions ever.
