Billel Addad, BACP

Billel Addad offers calm, direct support for people feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, grief, addiction or life changes. He meets each person where they are and helps them make practical steps towards clearer thinking and steadier moods. Billel works with people who are coping with relationship strain, parenting pressures, sleep or eating problems, and difficulty after trauma or loss.

He uses a conversational and warm style. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on small changes that can help day-to-day life. Billel draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy, attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused work to shape each session around current needs.

He has 16 years' experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as his professional credential. That background informs his use of reflective listening, practical tools and goal-oriented tasks when these fit the person’s aims.

Billel tailors the plan to the person rather than following a fixed protocol. Some sessions may include exploring patterns from the past, testing new ways of thinking, or practising different ways of relating to others. The pace and focus change as people make progress.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to what works for them. Fees vary with location and subscription arrangements can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that guide online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and helps people notice patterns that repeat in their close connections. It can be useful for intimacy problems, communication struggles and feelings of isolation.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and change behaviours that maintain anxiety, low mood or panic attacks.

Emotionally-focused work helps people identify and name core emotions and then try different ways of responding to those feelings. This can be helpful after loss, during relationship strain, and for processing strong emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will discuss your goals, needs and preferences and then suggest which methods to try together. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to attend while travelling or managing childcare, and some people prefer not to be on camera for certain sessions.
