About Billel
Billel Addad is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 16 years of experience. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family worries, addictions, parenting strains, trauma, grief and intimacy-related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.
Billel uses a conversational, interactive style. He listens for what feels most pressing and works with each person to clarify practical steps. Conversations can cover coping skills for anxiety, ways to manage mood swings, how to handle difficult conversations at home, or strategies for dealing with loss and grief.
He draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside Client-Centred and Emotionally-Focused ways of working. That means he may help a person notice patterns in their thoughts and behaviour, look at attachment and relationship patterns, and focus on emotional moments that keep difficulties repeating.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-focused while also leaving room to explore deeper life questions and meaning. Billel mentions working with people facing career challenges, caregiver stress, eating and sleeping concerns, panic and trauma-related problems. He also supports those coping with guilt, shame, isolation and life transitions.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Confirm current session options before booking so arrangements match your needs.
How sessions work
How Billel uses approaches online
Attachment-Based work looks at how early bonds influence current relationships. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in closeness, trust and conflict, and practise different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. In an online session this often means identifying specific thought patterns, trying practical exercises and setting small tasks to test what changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Billel will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try first. He will adjust the way sessions run as you learn what helps and what does not, keeping the plan collaborative and practical.
The original profile does not specify session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they fit more easily into busy days, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you have questions about session length or how you prefer to meet, raise them during the initial matching steps so arrangements suit your routine.
