About Rebecca

Rebecca Williams is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years' experience and supports people with anger alongside stress, anxiety, grief, depression and other concerns. Her work also covers relationship and intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting strain and challenges such as addiction and eating difficulties.

She works one to one with people aged 16 and over. Sessions aim to let someone talk through what is worrying them and to build practical ways of coping. Rebecca uses clear, direct language and focuses on what a person wants to change in daily life.

Her approach draws on several well-known therapies. She uses client-centred listening so people can be heard without judgement. Cognitive behavioural techniques help spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviours. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-based actions when feelings are hard to handle.

Rebecca also uses elements of attachment-based work and dialectical behaviour therapy for emotion regulation and relationship patterns. She applies trauma-informed ideas when people bring histories of abuse or loss. Sessions can include mindfulness and psychoeducation where those tools fit the goal.

Practical goals are a focus in sessions. That might mean slowing sudden impulses, reducing workplace reactivity, or rebuilding trust after conflict. She encourages small, repeatable steps people can use between meetings. The subscription model lets people continue sessions or cancel when they choose.

How sessions work

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Rebecca commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in her practice. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help when anger leads to behaviour someone later regrets. CBT examines thought patterns and behaviours, teaching practical skills to interrupt automatic reactions and build new habits.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationship patterns shape current responses. This can make it easier to understand explosive reactions and to try different ways of relating. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative: the therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan as they learn what helps.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people keep a visual connection if that helps with practising new communication skills or emotion regulation techniques.
