About Rebecca

Rebecca Williams supports people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, eating difficulties, depression and addictions. She works with a wide range of life and relationship concerns including parenting, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem and career questions. Rebecca uses a mix of talking therapies and practical techniques to help people address their goals. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience.

Rebecca offers individual counselling for people aged 16 and over. Her way of working is person-centred, which means she focuses on the client's perspective and pace. She combines that with practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy to manage emotions and unhelpful thoughts.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clarify values and on attachment-based ideas when early relationships affect current patterns. In sessions she uses mindfulness and trauma-informed approaches where they fit the person's needs. Rebecca has experience supporting people who report ADHD, PTSD, complex anxiety, specialist suicide bereavement and eating disorders.

Sessions are aimed at helping someone talk through difficult experiences, build coping skills and plan small, workable changes. Rebecca pays attention to relational patterns such as codependency, communication problems, commitment issues and attachment concerns. She also works with practical stresses such as caregiving strain and the pressures of ageing.

Practical arrangements and charges vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person uses the Talk to a counsellor online button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and books an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Rebecca commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred techniques in her work. ACT involves noticing difficult thoughts and deciding what matters most, which can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful avoidance. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and can help with intimacy, communication and trust issues. Client-centred counselling focuses on the person's experience and pace, offering time to talk through concerns and reflect on choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work collaboratively to decide what fits best. This means discussing goals, trying methods and adapting them according to how useful they feel for the person in front of her.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Practical benefits of remote sessions can include fitting therapy around work or family commitments, doing shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoiding travel. These practical arrangements can help make regular sessions easier to keep while the therapist and client agree the most effective way to work together.
