Keith Williams, BACP

Keith Williams is a counsellor accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 26 years of practice in the United Kingdom. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and a wide range of emotional and behavioural concerns. He supports people who identify as LGBT and those facing relationship, intimacy and parenting-related questions.

He trained at diploma and advanced levels and holds a Level 5 Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and a Level 4 Diploma in Clinical Case Work Supervision. He offers private counselling and has provided counselling in social services, bereavement services, night drop-in centres and substance misuse settings. He also provides clinical supervision to other counsellors.

His background includes long-term work supporting people with enduring mental health issues and those affected by substance misuse. He has delivered training across statutory, voluntary and third-sector organisations for nearly three decades. That experience shapes his practical approach to difficulties such as self-harm, depression, psychosis and negative self-concept.

He uses an integrative style drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, client-centred methods, psychodynamic ideas, motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques. Sessions tend to focus on noticing what keeps problems going and trying small, practical changes. He has a particular history of working around bereavement and supervising counsellors at Liverpool Bereavement Services.

People can expect straightforward, structured sessions aimed at clarifying problems and testing different ways of responding. He works in English and accepts international clients; session arrangements and fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
