About Rebecca

Rebecca Williams is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and issues around relationships and self-worth. She works with adults from 16 upwards and welcomes people dealing with eating difficulties, addiction, sleep problems, parenting strain, ADHD and codependency concerns. Rebecca aims to provide an authentic and compassionate space where clients can talk through what matters to them and set practical goals for change.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, or BACP, and follows the association's ethical framework. Her style is person-centred and non-judgemental, so the conversation follows the client's pace and priorities. Rebecca also draws on cognitive-behavioural tools and mindfulness to help with unhelpful thoughts and overwhelming feelings.

In practice she uses a flexible, integrative approach. That means she mixes techniques such as acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking, client-centred listening, and dialectical behaviour strategies depending on what suits the person in front of her. Sessions are tailored to address emotional, social and practical aspects of everyday life.

Rebecca has around four years' experience working with people affected by complex anxiety, PTSD, bereavement including suicide bereavement, and eating disorders. She offers individual counselling to adults and focuses on building steady coping skills and clearer communication patterns.

Her aim is to help clients make small, manageable changes that add up over time. People can expect straightforward conversations, collaborative planning and exercises to practise between sessions.

How therapy approaches fit into online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on active listening and reflecting back what the client says to build understanding and trust; it helps when someone needs a steady, empathetic space to work through feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers straightforward exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, encourages noticing thoughts and values-based action so people can move forward even when difficult feelings remain.

Finding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to try out different methods and agree what feels most useful based on a person's goals and preferences. That way the plan evolves as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can make fitting sessions into a busy week easier, reduce travel, and allow short check-ins when needed. Online sessions can also support continued momentum between in-person meetings and make it simpler to practise techniques at home. Registered or accredited professionals can help decide whether remote sessions match your needs and how to structure them to suit your routine.
