Keith Williams, BACP

Keith Williams is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 26 years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and a wide range of other concerns including codependency. He offers one-to-one counselling and clinical supervision in the United Kingdom and supports international clients in English.

Keith draws on a person-centred base and mixes approaches to match what each person needs. In practice he often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, psychodynamic ideas, motivational interviewing and mindfulness techniques. Sessions tend to focus on clear problems people bring - such as people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or coping with someone else’s drinking - and on practical steps to change patterns that are causing distress.

He has substantial experience in bereavement work, substance misuse services and long-term mental health support. He has also worked with social services, night drop-in centres, offender services and organisations supporting neurodiverse people. For many years he has delivered training and provided clinical casework supervision to other counsellors.

In private practice he offers one-to-one counselling alongside supervision for BACP registered and accredited counsellors. He brings a straightforward style that emphasises listening, reflective questioning and practical techniques drawn from his CBT and solution-focused work. People who come to him often want help with boundaries, self-worth and moving away from patterns that keep them focused on others at their own expense.

Keith keeps his continuing professional development up to date and combines direct counselling with training and supervision roles. That mix of practice and teaching informs how he supports people through change and difficult life events.
