About Billel

Billel Addad helps people work on stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem and life changes. He uses a mix of talking therapies and practical techniques to address mood and behaviour, and accepts international clients. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 16 years' experience.

Billel draws on approaches such as attachment-based work and cognitive behavioural methods to look at patterns in relationships and thought. He also uses client-centred and emotionally focused ideas to support how people relate to themselves and others. Sessions combine conversation, reflection and steps to try between meetings.

People who come to him may focus on specific problems such as panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, ADHD or bipolar mood difficulties, or on broader concerns like life purpose, isolation and career uncertainty. He also works with practical stresses including caregiver strain, hoarding, end-of-life issues and separation after divorce.

In therapy Billel aims to help clients notice unhelpful thinking, understand attachment patterns and strengthen emotional responses. He offers coaching-style support for goals such as managing work demands or improving communication. He avoids labels and asks questions to build a clear plan that fits each person's situation.

Sessions are conversational and structured when needed. Clients can expect a mix of exploring feelings, looking at behaviour, and setting manageable tasks to try between sessions. The initial stages focus on a clear agreement about goals and how to work together.

How his approaches work in online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current responses. In online sessions this can help with issues such as intimacy, caregiver stress and communication problems by identifying repeated patterns and practising new ways of relating.

Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It involves practical exercises and simple techniques to try between sessions, which translate well to remote work and short written or spoken check-ins.

Emotionally focused ideas help people name and respond to feelings in relationships. This approach is useful for addressing relationship strain, grief and emotional avoidance, with the therapist guiding conversations to notice and change interaction patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit the client's goals and preferences, and may mix approaches as needs become clearer.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to suit everyday life and practical constraints.
