About Rebecca
Rebecca Williams is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low mood and parenting challenges. She welcomes conversations about trauma, eating concerns, addictions and relationship issues. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, and she seeks to make each session straightforward and practical.
She brings four years of practice and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, known as BACP. That means she follows the association's ethical framework in her work.
Background and approach
Rebecca offers one-to-one sessions for adults aged 16 and over and uses a range of methods to suit different concerns. Sessions are shaped around the person in front of her. Rebecca uses client-centred conversations to help people feel heard and understood.
She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice what matters most to them. When trauma or attachment themes appear, she brings attachment-based perspectives and trauma-informed care into the conversation.
She can also introduce practical skills from dialectical behaviour therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when these are useful. Rebecca aims to address the whole person - physical, emotional and social needs - rather than only single symptoms. She describes her style as authentic and compassionate, and she tailors the work to each individual's goals and situation.

Therapeutic approaches you can access online
Rebecca uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is practical and goal-focused, often helping with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.She also works from an attachment-based perspective, which looks at how early relationships affect how people relate now. This approach can be useful when intimacy, abandonment or communication issues come up.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss your goals and preferences and then try methods that fit your needs. That collaboration helps tailor sessions to what actually helps you in day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls are good for a full therapy session, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and messaging suits people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and busy days.
