About Keith
Keith Williams is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 26 years of practice. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, relationship and parenting concerns. He also addresses issues linked to eating, sleeping, anger, career changes and mood disorders such as depression and bipolar.
Keith uses a person-centred foundation alongside other approaches. He draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and motivational interviewing to help people change patterns that cause distress. He also brings psychodynamic ideas when exploring longer-standing relationship and attachment issues.
Much of his experience comes from work across statutory and voluntary services. He has provided counselling in social services, bereavement services, a night drop-in centre and substance misuse settings. He has also supported people with neurodiversity and long-term mental health difficulties.
Alongside direct counselling, he offers clinical casework supervision to other counsellors and has been supervising at a local bereavement service since 2009. He has run training for multiagency teams and worked as a practice tutor for social work students.
In sessions he listens for what someone is trying to change and looks for straightforward ways forward. Work may include looking at thoughts and behaviours, short-term goal setting, or discussing early relationship patterns that still influence life now. He also supports adults dealing with family and parenting strain and practical pressures at home.
He keeps continuing professional development up to date and combines long-term experience with approaches that suit each person. Before booking, readers should check current session options and how they fit with their own needs.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to remote counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions. It involves reflective listening and supporting someone to identify what matters most and how they want life to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to shift unhelpful patterns and can help with anxiety, mood and sleep issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and try methods that fit those aims. Decisions about using person-centred listening, CBT exercises or motivational interviewing are made together and adjusted as needed during the course of sessions.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as current options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. Some people prefer sessions that do not require video for quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth. Check which formats are provided and how they align with practical needs before arranging the first session.
