About Rebecca

Rebecca Williams is a BACP counsellor who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, eating difficulties and depression. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, career worries and life changes. Her practice notes adoption and foster care among its focus areas. Rebecca offers individual counselling for people aged 16 and over and writes plainly to help visitors understand what to expect.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. Sessions aim to be authentic and compassionate, with the client’s goals guiding the work. Rebecca combines an integrative, client-centred approach with practical tools from several therapies. She pays attention to emotional needs while also looking at physical, social and everyday factors that affect wellbeing.

Rebecca draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and acceptance-based ideas to help people manage difficult thoughts and make workable changes. She also uses attachment-focused thinking when exploring how past relationships shape current patterns. Mindfulness and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy are used to build coping skills and manage strong emotions.

She has four years of clinical experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That membership is recorded as BACP. Her work includes supporting people affected by ADHD, complex anxiety and bereavement, including specialist suicide bereavement.

Sessions are offered in English and are intended to be individual one-to-one counselling for adults and older teens. People who want to begin can follow the site’s Start Therapy process to match and schedule a session.

How Rebecca uses evidence-based approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions that fit what matters to the person, which can suit those facing anxiety, depression or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers practical exercises and structured techniques to reduce distress and change unhelpful habits, often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. It can be useful when working through abandonment, adoption and foster care topics or long-standing relational difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to emphasise ACT, CBT or attachment-focused ideas and adapt techniques as progress unfolds.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm which session formats Rebecca currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions sit inside day-to-day life. Registered and accredited professionals often find that therapy done remotely still supports meaningful change when it matches a person’s needs and routine.
