Billel Addad , BACP

Billel Addad is a fully accredited, registered BACP psychotherapist and a UK-trained clinical supervisor. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in the UK, and his registration reflects that standard of professional training and practice.

Billel has worked with people facing a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, career setbacks, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and ADHD. He has also supported individuals who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse, as well as those coping with imposter syndrome, addiction, termination of pregnancy, and loss and grief.

His therapeutic style is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and he avoids stigmatizing labels. His clinical approach blends cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive methods, allowing him to personalise conversations and treatment plans to each individual’s needs and circumstances.

Billel aims to support and empower people who are ready to make changes toward a more fulfilling life. He encourages taking that first courageous step and offers guidance and practical support throughout the therapeutic process.

Adapting therapeutic approaches for online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. In online sessions this approach helps clients explore attachment styles and improve relationship dynamics, particularly when intimacy or trust is affected.

Client-Centered Therapy prioritises the client’s experience and supports growth through empathetic listening and nonjudgmental understanding. This person-focused approach helps individuals gain clarity, build self-acceptance, and make decisions aligned with their values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers practical strategies for addressing anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful patterns. In remote work CBT techniques can be taught and practised in sessions and applied between appointments.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Billel works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best match each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust the plan as required.

Online therapy with Billel is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support while fitting therapy into daily life and across time zones.
