About Conrad
Conrad Cave is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by parenting, anxiety, stress, addiction or grief. He writes simply and listens closely, offering steady support while clients work out what matters to them. Conrad has ten years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which he uses to guide his practice.
He focuses on practical ways to reduce worry and manage strong emotions. Sessions often look at everyday situations - what happens at home, triggers that crop up, and patterns people want to change.
Background and approach
Conrad draws on straightforward techniques to help clients notice thoughts and behaviours and try small changes between meetings. His approach blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness practices. That means conversations centre on each person’s priorities, while also introducing tools to shift thinking and reduce stress.
Motivational interviewing and trauma-focused methods are added when someone needs extra support to move forward. Conrad often helps people who are navigating parenting challenges, relationship strain, bereavement, or addiction. He also supports those dealing with anger, low self-esteem, ADHD-related difficulties, and identity concerns within LGBT communities.
Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. Work can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging, depending on what suits the client. He asks people to start by completing a short matching questionnaire so therapy can be planned around their goals and availability.

How Conrad blends approaches online
Client-centred work means the conversation starts with what matters to the client. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people set goals that feel relevant to their life. This approach is useful when someone wants practical support shaped around their priorities.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. Conrad uses simple CBT techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try small experiments to change behaviour. This can help with anxiety, low mood and everyday stress.
Mindfulness adds short exercises to strengthen attention and reduce reactivity. These are easy to practise between sessions and can support emotional regulation and stress management.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Conrad will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. He adapts pacing and techniques as therapy progresses, checking in to see what helps most.
Online formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options provide flexibility and make it simpler to keep therapy going around parenting and work commitments.
