About Keith
Keith Williams is a counsellor with 26 years of experience supporting people through difficult times. He works in the United Kingdom and uses a person-centred outlook to help people find their own strengths. He holds BACP accreditation which reflects his professional standing with that body.
Keith blends talking therapy with practical tools to address stress, anxiety, addiction and trauma. He also helps with grief, low self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and mood issues including bipolar and depression.
Background and approach
He pays attention to relationship and intimacy-related concerns alongside communication and commitment challenges. He trained at diploma level and has a Level 5 Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and a Level 4 Diploma in clinical case work supervision. Keith has worked in social services, bereavement services and night drop-in centres, and has long experience in substance misuse settings.
For many years he has provided one-to-one counselling and offered clinical supervision to other counsellors. He has been a practice tutor for social work students and has run training across statutory, voluntary and third sector organisations. That training background informs his clear, structured sessions.
Keith describes his approach as integrative, drawing primarily on client-centred principles along with CBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical - talking through problems, building coping strategies and exploring what matters most to the person.
People can expect an open, respectful environment where the counsellor listens carefully and works collaboratively to set goals and review progress.

Online support
He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT is practical and problem-focused and can help with anxiety, depression, sleep issues and coping strategies.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match the person’s needs, goals and preferences. They will review what helps and adapt the approach over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let the conversation feel face to face, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and live chat or text messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need to fit therapy around work or caring responsibilities. These options make it easier to keep appointments and to use therapeutic tools between sessions.
