About William
Dr William Cook has spent 18 years helping people untangle difficult moments in life. He combines practical skills with a calm, straightforward style. He aims to help people who are struggling with stress, sleep problems, addiction, relationship pain or low mood. He works in English, Spanish and French and is based in the United Kingdom.
He uses a blend of approaches so sessions can be tailored to what a person needs. That might mean learning new ways to manage worry with cognitive tools. It might mean focusing on emotions and attachment patterns to improve close relationships. He also draws on techniques for coping with trauma, grief and addictive behaviours when those issues come up.
Appointments are collaborative and goal-focused. Conversations cover what is happening now and what practical steps could help. He offers coaching-style work alongside deeper therapeutic exploration, depending on the person's priorities.
Dr Cook is registered with the BACP and NCPS, and has worked in charities and community settings. He has written on addiction and supports people across many concerns including ADHD, autism, eating struggles, chronic health issues and compassion fatigue.
People come to him for help with work stress, parenting strain, intimacy or identity questions, and problems with sleep. He encourages straightforward conversation about what is getting in the way and small, usable changes that can fit into everyday life.
How his approaches work in online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in close connections. It helps people who repeat the same relationship problems or who struggle to trust and feel understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and testing simple strategies to reduce anxiety, depression and sleep disruption. It often includes practical exercises to try between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on the felt experience in relationships, helping partners or individuals name core emotions and respond to them differently.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and use that discussion to shape a plan. That collaborative process means methods can change as you progress and as your needs become clearer.
Please confirm the current online session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to access a therapist who speaks English, Spanish or French, and to continue sessions while managing work, family and caregiving responsibilities.
