About Rebecca

Rebecca Williams is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She supports people who are feeling stressed, anxious or depressed, those coping with trauma or grief, and people struggling with relationships, addictions, eating concerns or codependency.

She sees people aged 16 and over. Sessions look at what is happening now and how past experiences affect present choices. Rebecca uses straightforward conversation, practical exercises and reflective listening to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.

Her work draws on several approaches. She uses client-centred methods to follow what matters to the person in the room. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps with unhelpful thinking and routines. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and make purposeful changes.

Attachment-based ideas come into play when relationship history shapes current reactions. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills and trauma-informed ways of working are used where strong emotions or traumatic memories are present. Mindfulness and psychoeducation are included to build coping skills.

Rebecca notes experience supporting people with ADHD, PTSD, complex anxiety, suicide bereavement and eating disorders. She also offers help around parenting stress, career worries, body image and issues around abandonment or adoption.

Sessions aim to be honest and practical. People are invited to set goals, try small experiments between meetings, and review what works. To start, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial appointment.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Rebecca uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people name their values and take small, practical steps that fit their life. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that matter, which can help with anxiety, avoidance and codependency patterns.

She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep sessions focused on the persons priorities. This approach emphasises listening and reflecting so people can find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours through short exercises between meetings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss what seems most useful and adjust methods as goals and needs become clearer. This is a collaborative process where plans are checked and refined together.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often find video or phone appointments useful for maintaining momentum while juggling everyday responsibilities.
