About Billel

Billel Addad is a BACP-registered psychotherapist with 16 years of experience. He works with people who bring stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, and a wide range of other issues including trauma and addiction.

He uses plain conversation to help people make sense of what is happening for them. Sessions are interactive and focused on practical ways to reduce distress. He avoids labels and treats clients with respect and sensitivity.

Over his career he has supported people dealing with grief, panic, post-traumatic stress, mood disorders and eating or sleeping difficulties. He also works with those coping with life changes, career pressure, compulsion and attention-related struggles such as ADHD.

His methods draw on cognitive and humanistic ideas alongside attachment-focused and emotionally-attuned practices. That mix is used to look at thoughts, feelings and relationship patterns that get in the way of daily life. Conversations aim to surface patterns and test different ways of responding.

Billel also offers clinical supervision and brings experience with a range of complex concerns, including abuse, end-of-life and caregiving stress. He encourages straightforward dialogue about goals and progress so people can see what is changing.

To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How his approaches work with online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at patterns formed in relationships and how they affect current connections. It helps people notice reactions that feel automatic and practice new ways of relating in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and panic. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and move through strong feelings so they can change how they respond to others.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful together, then adjust the focus as sessions progress. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions relevant and manageable.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit a short check-in into a lunch break, choose a session without travel, or lower the need to be on camera for someone who prefers audio. Talk with him after the matching questionnaire about what would fit best for your routine and needs.
