About Rebecca

Rebecca Williams offers support for a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, eating difficulties, addictions, sleep problems and parenting strain. She also works with people facing relationship and intimacy issues, low self-esteem, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD and career-related stress. Rebecca holds BACP, which stands for British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy membership, and brings four years of practice experience.

Rebecca aims to make counselling straightforward and practical. She uses a person-centred approach that treats each person as an individual. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on small, achievable steps toward better coping.

Her style blends different methods to match a person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thinking, mindfulness to help with stress and grounding, and attachment-based ideas to look at close relationships. Dialectical skills and acceptance approaches are used when people need ways to manage intense feelings.

Rebecca has experience supporting people with ADHD, complex anxiety, PTSD and bereavement, including specialist suicide bereavement work. She offers counselling to individuals aged 16 and over and takes a holistic view that considers physical, emotional and social factors.

Sessions are delivered in a non-judgemental manner with an emphasis on authenticity and compassion. People are invited to set their own goals and to work at a pace that feels manageable, with practical tools to use between sessions.

How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online work

Rebecca commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her practice. ACT helps people notice what they value and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are difficult. CBT focuses on spotting and changing thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is something the therapist will do together with the client. Rebecca will listen to goals and preferences, try methods that fit the person, and adjust the plan as needed so the work feels relevant and manageable.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking. The practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a busy day, cutting out travel time and making it easier to attend short check-ins. Different ways of meeting can also suit quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth needs or a quicker appointment during a lunch break. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques such as mindfulness exercises, behavioural experiments and values-based tasks for online work, so therapeutic tools remain practical and useful.
