Keith Williams

Keith Williams is a counsellor who uses a person-centred style at the heart of his work. He blends that approach with practical therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and grief. He has 26 years of experience and is BACP accredited, so he has worked across many services and settings.

He draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness and motivational interviewing alongside psychodynamic ideas. That mix helps him respond to the problem a person brings rather than forcing a single method. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps and on understanding patterns that keep difficulties going.

His background includes work with bereavement services, social services and night drop-in centres. He has supported people with long-term mental health issues and substance misuse for many years. He also provides one-to-one counselling at an inclusion service and offers supervision to other counsellors.

Clients come for a wide range of concerns, including relationships, identity issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, trauma and anger. He also works with people facing chronic illness, adoption and attachment questions, and career or life transitions. The emphasis is on practical coping, clearer thinking and restoring daily routines.

In sessions he listens for what matters most and helps people try small changes. He aims to help people feel more confident in making decisions and managing difficult feelings. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first appointment.

How his approaches work for online therapy

Keith combines a client-centred stance with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness to help people make practical changes. Client-Centred Therapy means sessions start with listening to what matters most to the person and building a trusting working relationship. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then tailor methods over time. Sessions are collaborative, so people help decide whether more practical CBT work, reflective psychodynamic exploration or mindfulness exercises suit them best.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when needed. It can also let people practise techniques in the places where they live and work, helping transfer skills into daily routines.
