About Keith
Keith Williams is a counsellor with more than two decades of clinical experience. He uses a person-centred approach and practical therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and grief. Keith works in straightforward language and aims to make sessions feel calm and focused.
He trained to Diploma level and holds the BACP accreditation. Over 26 years he has worked across social services, bereavement support, night drop-in services and substance misuse programmes.
Background and approach
He also offers personal counselling alongside supervision for other counsellors. Sessions often combine client-centred listening with tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and motivational interviewing. He draws on psychodynamic ideas when looking at recurring patterns that feed worry or relationship strain.
The work is tailored to the person rather than a fixed technique. Keith has particular experience supporting people facing trauma, long-term mental health challenges, bereavement and issues connected to identity and sexual orientation. He has provided one-to-one counselling for people with autism spectrum conditions, ADHD and enduring difficulties, and he also supports staff and parents through challenging times.
He has delivered training and clinical supervision for many years and continues to supervise BACP registered and accredited counsellors. People who come to him can expect clear, practical conversations about goals and small steps to build on between sessions.
How Keith blends approaches for online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the centre of each session. The counsellor listens closely and reflects what matters to the client, helping them find their own solutions and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Keith will discuss different methods and try techniques that fit the client's needs and goals. Sessions are collaborative so the plan evolves from what helps most in practice rather than a fixed path.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls let people see facial cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, care or travel commitments while keeping the focus on practical steps and progress.
