Keith Williams, BACP

BACP. 26 years' experience. Keith Williams offers counselling in the United Kingdom and works with a wide range of presenting issues including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and grief, depression and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. He uses several approaches such as Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy and draws on longer-term psychodynamic ideas where helpful.

Keith trained at diploma and advanced diploma level and holds a Level 5 diploma in CBT and a Level 4 diploma in clinical casework supervision. He has experience across statutory and voluntary settings, including social services, bereavement services and organisations supporting people with substance misuse and enduring mental health problems.

He has provided counselling to people from diverse backgrounds and different age groups, and he currently works with an inclusion service supporting people with autism spectrum conditions, ADHD and long-term mental health difficulties. He also offers private counselling and provides clinical casework supervision to BACP-registered and accredited counsellors.

Over many years he has delivered training for multi-disciplinary teams in statutory and third-sector settings and has been a practice tutor for social work students. Much of his past work has involved bereavement support and substance misuse services, and he describes a long track record in those areas.

In sessions Keith tends to work in a client-focused way, combining CBT methods, solution-focused techniques, motivational interviewing and psychodynamic reflection. He aims to help people talk through current problems, build coping strategies and reflect on patterns that affect their relationships and wellbeing.
