About Billel

Billel Addad is a BACP counsellor with 16 years of clinical experience. He offers calm, direct support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction and relationship strain. He explains things plainly and focuses on what will help in day-to-day life.

Billel uses a mix of practical and reflective approaches. He draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on client-centred work to make space for what matters most to each person.

Background and approach

Attachment-based ways of working help when old patterns from close relationships are getting in the way. Many people come for help with grief, sleep or eating problems, parenting pressures and work stress. He also supports people coping with panic, bipolar mood shifts, post-traumatic stress and issues such as low self-esteem or guilt.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on manageable steps forward. He describes his style as warm and interactive. Sessions are shaped around each person's goals, with a combination of listening, practical exercises and reflection.

The emphasis is on respect and avoiding labels that feel stigmatizing. Billel offers sessions from the United Kingdom and works with English-speaking clients internationally. He also provides clinical supervision.

If someone wants to try therapy, he asks them to complete a short questionnaire to match and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Trauma-focused work helps people talk through traumatic events and the ways those experiences affect thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It can support recovery from post-traumatic stress and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life.

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses. It is useful when trust, closeness or communication problems keep repeating in relationships or when past caregiving hurts still affect mood and behaviour.

Billel also uses client-centred methods that put the person's priorities first, with the therapist offering close listening and reflective conversation. Together these approaches aim to find practical ways to manage distress and build clearer choices about next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then agree a plan that may combine different methods. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when it suits them. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, written reflection or when a different format fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caring duties and travel.
