About Rebecca

Rebecca Williams is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, sleep problems and many other concerns. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through painful experiences and figure out practical next steps. Rebecca is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works with individuals aged 16 and over.

Her approach is person-centred and practical. She listens first and then helps clients set clear, achievable goals. Rebecca draws on cognitive-behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live more in line with their values.

She also brings attachment-based thinking into sessions to look at how early relationships shape present feelings and behaviours. Rebecca uses mindfulness tools and trauma-informed practices when they suit the person she is working with. These methods are mixed to match each person rather than following a single recipe.

Rebecca has four years of experience supporting people with issues such as depression, addiction, eating difficulties, grief, relationship or intimacy-related concerns, parenting stresses and ADHD. She also has worked with specialist suicide bereavement and complex anxiety. Her aim is to help people develop coping skills and regain a greater sense of control over daily life.

Sessions are offered in English and are arranged through the siteʼs booking process. People who want to begin are invited to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.

How Rebecca uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it suits problems like insomnia, anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and can help people understand repeated emotional reactions and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what has helped before. Together they will decide which methods to try and adapt the pace and focus as progress is tracked over time.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and can be scheduled around work or caregiving. Choosing online sessions can help people keep therapy consistent while balancing everyday responsibilities.
