About Rebecca

BACP member. Rebecca Williams has four years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career matters, bipolar, ADHD and other life changes.

Rebecca meets individuals aged 16 and over. She offers individual counselling that draws on person-centred practice alongside cognitive approaches. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage feelings and behaviours, and on understanding patterns that keep problems going.

Her approach is integrative and client-centred. That means she draws on several methods and picks what seems helpful for each person. Techniques mentioned include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and other person-centred methods.

Rebecca says she works with trauma-informed and mindfulness tools when they are suitable. She has experience supporting people with ADHD, PTSD, complex anxiety, bereavement including suicide bereavement, and eating disorders. Those areas are noted from her clinical practice.

She follows the ethical framework of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Practical matters such as session cost vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Rebecca commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and helps people take actions that align with their values; it is often used for anxiety, depression and stress. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the counsellor listening without judgement and helping the person find their own solutions; it can help with self-esteem, relationship concerns and deciding on next steps.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. That approach can help with intimacy-related issues, attachment difficulties and some relationship concerns. Rebecca will work with each person to agree which approaches feel most useful, so the method develops from the client's needs, goals and preferences in collaboration with the counsellor.

If you want online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since no specific formats are listed in her biography. Many people find online counselling useful because it can fit around work, reduce travel time and make short check-ins easier. When considering online work, think about practicalities like quieter surroundings, whether you prefer video or audio, and how sessions will fit into your day; Rebecca will discuss these options when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
