About Rebecca

Rebecca Williams is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years of practice in the United Kingdom. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, eating difficulties, depression, addictions and relationship or intimacy issues. Rebecca also works with clients concerned about sleep, parenting, self-esteem, career shifts, ADHD and coping with life changes.

Her sessions tend to be straightforward and person-centred. She combines Client-Centred Therapy with practical tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Rebecca aims to listen, reflect and help people try new ways of responding to difficult thoughts and feelings.

Rebecca describes an integrative approach that draws on attachment-based ideas and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy where useful. That means she looks at close relationships, emotion regulation and communication patterns as part of the work. She also uses trauma-informed and psychoeducational methods for those recovering from traumatic events or bereavement.

She offers individual counselling for people aged 16 and over. Rebecca follows the ethical framework of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and combines talking with practical exercises when helpful. Sessions are aimed at helping people clarify goals and build small, manageable changes in everyday life.

Her practice recognises a wide range of concerns including long-term mood conditions, eating difficulties and neurodiversity. People meet a counsellor who mixes listening with structured strategies and mindfulness-based techniques to support steady progress.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and struggles over life changes by encouraging small, value-driven steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when trust, closeness or recurring relationship problems are part of the concern. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises being listened to without judgement and working at the client’s pace; this can be useful when someone needs time to talk through feelings or to make sense of life events.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. That means the plan can change over time and the client helps shape which methods are tried first.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm Rebecca's current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around study, shift work or commuting. They also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and let people choose whether to use video or lower-bandwidth options depending on their needs. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and mindfulness practices to work well in a remote setting, so therapy can be practical and relatable even when it is carried out at a distance.
