About Billel
Billel Addad is a BACP psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with 16 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and a wide range of life transitions. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients.
Billel uses a blend of approaches to suit the situation. He names Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Existential Therapy among his methods. In practice this means he pays attention to feelings, relationship patterns, thoughts and everyday behaviour when deciding what to work on.
People often come with problems such as sleep or eating difficulties, parenting strain, anger or low self-esteem. He also supports those coping with bipolar mood disorders, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress and compassion fatigue. Billel notes experience with issues like body image, communication problems, divorce and end-of-life concerns.
His sessions aim to be interactive and respectful, focusing on practical conversation and steps that fit a person’s life. He avoids diagnostic labels as the main focus and works to adapt the dialogue and plan to what each person needs. He also offers clinical supervision.

How his approaches translate to online work
Billel draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help name and work with difficult emotions and attachment patterns. EFT work often focuses on how feelings and interaction habits affect relationships and personal distress.He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early and current relationship patterns influence stress and closeness. Attachment work can help when people notice recurring trust or distance issues in relationships. Client-Centred Therapy is another core influence, focusing on clear listening, reflecting what someone says and building a collaborative conversation about goals.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and adapt methods as those things become clearer. Together they shape the focus and pace of sessions rather than applying a single fixed method.
If you plan to try online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking. The listing does not specify formats here, so check which options are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so conversations can happen between other commitments.
