About Timothy
Timothy Williamson is a counsellor who uses attachment-based, client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches. He mainly helps adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression and bereavement, including loss by suicide. He offers online sessions by video, phone, live chat and messaging to suit different needs and schedules.
Timothy keeps sessions straightforward and centred on what matters to each person. He listens without judgement and helps people make sense of painful feelings.
How Timothy works
He also works with stress, addiction, trauma, and mood difficulties such as bipolar and panic. Practical coping strategies are offered alongside time to reflect on past patterns. His background includes three years of counselling practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
That experience underpins a flexible style that adapts to short or longer-term work. Clients can expect a calm, consistent presence and a focus on small steps that make daily life easier. Timothy pays attention to attachment and how early relationships shape current responses.
He uses client-centred methods to prioritise what the client wants to address and draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. People often come for help with relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, compulsive behaviours, feelings of isolation, or striving to find life purpose.
Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm, improve communication, and build practical ways to cope with change and loss.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches suited to online counselling
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships affect current feelings and reactions. Online sessions let the counsellor and client look at patterns of relating and practice different ways of connecting and communicating in everyday life.Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of the session. The counsellor follows the client’s pace, reflecting feelings and priorities to help people find their own answers. This approach is useful for loss, low self-esteem and when someone needs a patient, listening presence.
Cognitive behavioural work identifies unhelpful thoughts and the behaviours that follow, then tests and changes them. In online sessions this can include setting small tasks between meetings and reviewing progress, which helps with anxiety, panic and mood difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will collaborate with the client to choose or combine methods based on goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. That decision can shift over time as priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier on the move, while live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help fit counselling around work, family life and other commitments.
