Keith Williams, BACP

Keith Williams is a counsellor with over 26 years of practice. He works in the United Kingdom and uses a person-centred approach to help people make sense of difficult experiences. He holds the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential BACP and has extensive experience supporting people through loss, addiction and distress.

He brings practical listening and collaboration to sessions. He draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness alongside motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings and on noticing patterns that make life harder.

Over his career he has worked in social services, bereavement support, night drop-in services and substance misuse settings. He also provides one-to-one counselling and supports staff and parents at community organisations. This range has given him experience with grief, trauma, addiction, mood difficulties and identity concerns.

Keith also supervises counsellors and has provided training for statutory and voluntary agencies. He describes his core practice as person-centred, aiming to help people find their own solutions while offering structure when it is needed. He keeps continuing professional development up to date.

People come to him for help with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping concerns, parenting strains, career questions and coping with big life changes. He welcomes conversations in English and is available to work with international clients through the arrangement process.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and empathy, helping people find their own answers through reflective conversation and support. It is useful for emotional distress, self-esteem problems and times of change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behaviour into steps you can work on. It often includes practical tasks and simple experiments between sessions, which can suit people wanting structure for anxiety, low mood or sleep issues.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches noticing thoughts and bodily responses without judgment, which can reduce reactivity to stress and support recovery from trauma and addiction patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped in the past, then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as you go.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online counselling helps fit therapy into busy lives by avoiding travel and allowing sessions during breaks or from another quiet spot. Others appreciate having shorter check-ins by phone or focusing on written exercises between meetings. Confirm the practical arrangements so they match your schedule and needs.
