About Rayner
Rayner Williams uses a client-centred approach to help people talk through stress, anxiety, relationship worries, grief and low self-esteem. She combines this with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work. Rayner is a BACP member, and she works with adults from diverse backgrounds to address common life struggles in a straightforward, human way.
Rayner believes people need space to make sense of their thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and build on the client's own knowledge about their life.
Background and approach
Her style is warm, compassionate and interactive, with an emphasis on listening first and outlining steps next. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy may be used to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural changes. Solution-focused techniques help set clear, achievable goals and spot what already works.
The client-centred foundation keeps the person in charge of pace and direction. Rayner has five years of experience working online and by phone, supporting people with workplace stress, social anxiety, career worries and coping with life changes. She also focuses on blended family issues, caregiver stress, multicultural concerns and grief.
People who choose Rayner can expect steady, realistic work rather than quick fixes. She aims to help clients recognise their own strengths and take manageable steps toward feeling better.

Approaches Rayner lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses straightforward exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable goals and noticing what already works, which can speed up getting practical outcomes for specific concerns.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Rayner will discuss the different methods and decide together which fit the client's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people see and hear each other for a fuller conversation. Phone sessions are useful when a quieter session or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, journalling between sessions or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving and other commitments, while still focusing on real therapeutic progress with a registered professional.
