About William
Dr. William Cook is a BACP and NCPS registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 18 years of clinical experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, relationship problems and anger. He offers sessions in English, Spanish and French, and he accepts international clients.
Over his career he has supported people through grief, parenting strain, workplace stress and difficulties with intimacy and attachment. He also works with clients managing mood disorders, ADHD, autistic traits and long-term health issues. His listed approach covers both short-term tools and deeper relationship work.
In sessions he combines practical techniques with listening and reflection. He uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioural work, dialectical behaviour strategies and attachment-focused thinking to help people notice patterns and practice alternatives. He also integrates emotionally-focused ideas when relationships are central to the concern.
This counsellor describes therapy as a collaborative process. He helps people set clear, realistic goals and develop day-to-day skills for stress regulation, anger management and improved communication. He also offers coaching-style support for career and life transitions when that is helpful.

How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Dr Cook uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours; this is useful for anger, anxiety and low mood. He also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationship patterns shape reactions and closeness, which can help when anger shows up with partners or family. Emotionally-focused or DBT-influenced strategies are used to build awareness of feelings and practical skills for regulating strong emotions.Finding the best approach is part of the work. He will discuss options with each person, weigh the goals and preferences, and agree on methods together. That means sessions can include skill practice, reflective conversation or coaching-style planning depending on what the client wants to focus on.
The biography indicates he offers online sessions. Confirm the exact session formats before booking so they meet your needs. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people use tools from CBT and DBT in real time, practise new communication strategies with a partner, and bring real-life situations into discussion without needing to be in the same room.
