About Keith
Keith Williams is a counsellor with 26 years of experience who combines practical talking therapy with clear goals. He uses a person-centred way of working that helps people feel heard and make changes. His approach is straightforward and aimed at parents and individuals facing stress, relationship strain, addiction or grief.
He holds BACP accreditation which is recorded as BACP. Over his career he has offered one-to-one counselling in statutory and voluntary settings.
Background and approach
He has provided support in bereavement services, substance misuse projects and outreach centres. He has also worked alongside agencies connected with mental health and young people’s services. He draws on several methods when it helps a person move forward, including cognitive behavioural techniques and motivational interviewing.
Those tools are used to look at patterns, try new ways of coping and set small, achievable goals. Mindfulness practices are offered to help reduce worry and improve sleep. Keith also provides clinical casework supervision and has supported other counsellors and trainees for many years.
He has delivered training across statutory, voluntary and third sector organisations and values practical skill-building in sessions. Sessions aim to be collaborative and down-to-earth. People can expect listening, gentle challenge and a focus on steps that fit day-to-day life.
The goal is to help people manage immediate problems and build clearer ways forward over time.

How Keith’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centred work focuses on listening and supporting a person to find their own answers. In practice this means the counsellor spends time understanding what matters to the client and follows their pace to build confidence and clarity. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and uses practical exercises to change patterns; it is useful for anxiety, sleep problems and mood difficulties.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Keith will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and agree which methods to use. That can include mixing person-centred listening with CBT tasks or using mindfulness exercises alongside motivational interviewing to encourage small steps.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection or flexible contact around work and family commitments. These options help make counselling more manageable alongside day-to-day life.
