Rebecca Williams, BACP

Rebecca Williams is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and the challenges of living with health issues. She sees adults aged 16 and over and offers individual counselling in a warm, non-judgemental way. Many people come because life feels overwhelming, or because they want clearer ways to cope and move forward. Rebecca acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and aims to make that first step easier.

Her approach blends practical talking therapy with techniques that suit each person. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on small, manageable changes. Rebecca uses elements of cognitive behavioural work to spot unhelpful thinking and acceptance-based ideas to help people live in line with their values.

She also draws on attachment-focused methods to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. This can help when someone struggles with intimacy, boundaries, or repeated relationship difficulties. Rebecca uses mindfulness and trauma-informed practices when needed to support emotional regulation and grounding.

Rebecca brings a holistic view to sessions, paying attention to physical, emotional and social aspects of wellbeing. Her work has included supporting people with ADHD, complex anxiety, PTSD, bereavement and eating concerns. She offers a calm, practical style that aims to make therapy understandable and usable in day-to-day life.

If someone wants to try counselling they can expect collaborative goal-setting and regular check-ins about progress. Rebecca follows the ethical framework of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

How Rebecca uses therapy tools online

Rebecca commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then take small steps towards what matters most to them. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with long-term health issues. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical behaviour changes that reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca aims to be collaborative, checking in about what helps and adapting methods to fit a person's goals and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to use and how quickly to change direction if something is not useful.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact formats offered before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life, for instance by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or making it simpler to maintain continuity when schedules change. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists following BACP guidance, can adapt exercises, homework and grounding practices so the work feels practical and relevant even when not in the same room.
