About William

William Signey is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with a BACP accreditation and six years of experience. He works in a straightforward, person-focused way to help people make sense of difficult feelings. William aims to create a calm atmosphere where someone can talk about painful events and find ways to move forward.

He commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and depression. He also helps with trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, parenting strains and anger.

Background and approach

Additional areas of focus include adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters. William uses a mix of approaches to suit the person in front of him. That can include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based ways of working, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques and a client-centred style.

Sessions are shaped around practical steps and everyday coping skills as well as exploring difficult memories when needed. People who prefer a calm, steady listener tend to do well in his sessions. He aims to build trust, empathy and personal agency so people feel more confident managing life’s ups and downs.

William tailors the pace and focus to each individual. He works with adults on a wide range of issues including self-harm, obsessive or compulsive patterns, paranoia, personality difficulties, postpartum depression, prejudice and discrimination, and process addictions. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.

Online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take steps that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and ongoing stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions, teaching practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and tackle problems like anxiety, depression and obsessive habits. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships affect current connections and emotional responses, which can help with intimacy worries and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. William will discuss your goals and preferences and help decide what techniques to try. That choice is collaborative and can evolve as therapy progresses, so the plan can change if something is not helping.

Online sessions include video calls, phone appointments, live chat and text-based messaging, which makes fitting therapy into a busy life easier. Video is good for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, and text or live chat suits people who prefer writing or brief check-ins. These options give flexibility for different schedules, travel constraints and energy levels while allowing therapists and registered or accredited professionals to work through the same therapeutic approaches effectively.
