About Keith
Keith Williams is a counsellor with 26 years of experience. He draws on a person-centred stance and practical techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and grief. He is BACP accredited which reflects his long involvement in counselling practice and supervision.
He blends client-centred listening with structured methods such as cognitive behavioural approaches and motivational interviewing. That combination allows conversations that are both warm and goal-focused. Sessions aim to identify small, achievable changes and to build skills that make daily life easier.
How Keith works
Over many years he has worked across statutory and voluntary settings, including bereavement services, night drop-in centres and services supporting people with substance misuse. He also provides personal counselling and clinical casework supervision to other counsellors. This background gives him experience with complex issues and long-term difficulties.
He has particular experience supporting people facing loss, trauma, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and challenges around identity and self-esteem. He also helps people coping with chronic pain, illness and co-occurring difficulties such as addiction and mood conditions. In addition, he has provided training and practice tutoring to social work students and multidisciplinary teams.
Sessions focus on clear goals, practical coping strategies and a respectful, non-judgemental listening stance. People can expect direct conversation, short-term tools when needed, and space to reflect on deeper patterns over time.

How Keith’s approaches work online
Client-centred therapy starts from the idea that the person knows much about their own life. In practice this means sessions focus on careful listening, reflecting back what matters and helping people find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and day-to-day demands and then agree a blend of methods. That collaborative planning makes it easier to try short-term techniques first and shift to deeper exploration if needed.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to book regular sessions and to keep therapeutic momentum despite a busy life.
