About Rebecca
Rebecca Williams is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing midlife crossroads and many related concerns. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, addictions and sleeping problems. Rebecca also works with issues such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, career change and coping with life transitions. She offers individual counselling for people aged 16 and over and speaks English.
Rebecca aims for a straightforward, kind approach. Sessions focus on what matters now and practical steps to move forward. She uses simple tools and reflective conversation to help people notice patterns, make different choices and build steady routines. The room is described as non-judgemental and attentive to the whole person - emotional, physical and social factors are brought into view.
Her background includes four years of practice and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That means she works within the association's ethical framework. Her work draws on a mix of methods rather than a single model, and she adapts these to each person's needs.
Therapy methods Rebecca commonly uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches. She also integrates trauma-informed care, mindfulness and psychoeducation when helpful.
People preparing for sessions can expect collaborative goal-setting and practical techniques to try between meetings. Rebecca describes her role as companioning people through change rather than offering quick fixes.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Rebecca commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take values-led action. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas in some cases, focusing on how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and connections. That approach can help people understand why they respond a certain way in close relationships and practise new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rebecca works collaboratively to agree which methods to try, adapting choices as goals and needs become clearer. Clients and therapist review what helps and adjust the plan together.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed and helping people attend from quieter surroundings. Registered or accredited professionals can offer the same structured exercises, reflective conversation and between-session tasks online as they do in person, while tailoring pace and tools to each person's situation.
