About Billel
Billel Addad welcomes people who are struggling to sleep, manage stress, or cope with intense emotions. He presents a calm, respectful presence and aims to create a space where people can talk through worries without feeling judged. Billel's style is warm and interactive, and he keeps things practical so sessions feel useful from the first meeting.
Billel is a BACP counsellor with 16 years' experience working in the United Kingdom. He has helped people with anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, mood difficulties and relationship concerns. He also supports people with sleep issues and eating-related worries as part of his broader practice.
Sessions focus on understanding what keeps problems going and on building small, achievable changes. He draws on cognitive-behavioural techniques alongside client-centred and attachment-based ideas to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. Conversations are tailored to each person's needs and pace.
Billel has also worked with people facing parenting strain, career challenges, compassion fatigue and the emotional impact of caregiving. He offers reflective space for those managing life changes, panic, or symptoms linked to past loss and trauma. He avoids labels and aims to treat each person with sensitivity and respect.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. Billel encourages realistic goals, steady progress, and practical strategies that fit everyday life.
How his approaches translate to online work
Billel commonly combines cognitive-behavioural ideas with client-centred and attachment-based perspectives. Cognitive-behavioural work looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and offers practical exercises to try between sessions, which can help with sleep, anxiety and mood. Client-centred elements mean the conversation stays focused on the person's experience and priorities, giving space for them to lead what feels most important. Attachment-based ideas pay attention to relationship patterns and emotional responses that affect closeness and trust.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Billel aims to make this a collaborative process, checking in about what helps and adjusting methods to match goals and preferences. He will discuss options openly so the plan fits each person's needs.
