Rebecca Williams, BACP

Rebecca Williams is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, eating concerns and many everyday habits around thoughts and behaviour. She offers an approachable place to talk through grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, sleep problems, parenting strain, ADHD and career or life changes. Rebecca works with people aged 16 and over and aims to make the first step less daunting.

She draws on person-centred practice alongside cognitive and behavioural methods to create an individualised plan. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person and on practical steps they can try between meetings. Rebecca aims to be warm and non-judgemental while helping clients notice unhelpful thinking and try new habits.

Her background includes four years of professional practice and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP. This means she follows the BACP ethical framework while working with clients in the United Kingdom.

Rebecca uses a range of approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy alongside mindfulness and psychoeducation. These methods are blended to match each person’s goals rather than applied in one fixed way.

People who come to her can expect calm, practical conversations that look at thoughts, day-to-day habits and coping strategies. Where needed she discusses trauma-informed ways of working and helps people build small, manageable changes into their routine.

To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to Rebecca’s availability.

How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting ruled by them and identify values-based actions to try. It is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; this is often helpful for depression, anxiety and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape expectations in adulthood, which can help with intimacy and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca takes a collaborative stance and will discuss different methods with each person. Together they review goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try things out and adjust the focus as needed.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They also make it possible to use worksheets, in-session exercises and mindfulness practices in ways that fit daily life.
