About William
William Signey is a counsellor with a Bachelor of Arts (honours) and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He brings six years of experience to his work and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and parenting concerns. William offers straightforward, practical conversations aimed at making difficult feelings easier to live with.
William takes an integrative approach and adapts sessions to each person. He uses clear tools and reflective listening to help people name what they are feeling and spot patterns that keep problems going.
Background and approach
Sessions are aimed at building trust and practical skills rather than labels or jargon. Common reasons people come to him include depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, changes in life, and low self-esteem. He also supports people with adoption and foster care questions, autism and Asperger syndrome, postpartum depression and process addictions among other concerns.
He works with a wide range of emotional and behavioural issues in plain language. William draws on therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches to tailor work to each client. He helps people try small changes between sessions and notices what works in everyday life.
Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. William aims to create a respectful environment where people can build confidence and autonomy. He encourages a steady pace and ongoing support as needed.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without being driven by them and focus on values-based actions; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood and parenting stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to reduce symptoms like panic, phobias or obsessive thinking. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy-related issues and responses to trauma.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit the client’s goals and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit around busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can be used for brief check-ins or when clients prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and fit therapy into work, parenting or travel commitments.
