About Rebecca

Rebecca Williams is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She sees people for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and issues around eating and addiction. She also works with people facing relationship and intimacy-related problems, parenting strains, sleep difficulty and career pressures.

Her approach is practical and person-centred. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed ideas and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and trying different ways of responding to daily stresses.

Rebecca offers individual sessions for people aged 16 and over. She uses a mix of therapeutic tools such as mindfulness, solution-focused strategies and psychoeducation to help people manage symptoms and build coping skills. She also draws on trauma-informed ways of working when past events affect current life.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and follows the association's ethical framework. That membership is listed as BACP on her profile.

To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Rebecca uses practical approaches in online sessions

Rebecca works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. CBT sessions are usually hands-on, using short exercises and homework to change patterns that maintain anxiety, low mood or sleep problems.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on values and taking small actions that matter despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Attachment-based ideas help when past relationships shape current trust and communication problems, offering ways to understand patterns and try different interaction styles.

Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then agree a plan together. Methods can be mixed across sessions depending on progress and need.

Session formats are not specified on the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, work or caring duties, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered professionals and therapists often find remote sessions help sustain regular contact while working on practical skills and changes in everyday life.
