About Keith
Keith Williams is a counsellor with 26 years of experience who uses a person-centred approach to help people find their own answers. He combines practical talking therapies with listening and empathy. He aims to create a respectful space where people can talk about stress, loss, addiction and identity concerns.
Keith holds BACP accreditation, and he keeps his continuing professional development up to date. He draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help people manage anxious thoughts and build coping skills.
Background and approach
He also uses mindfulness practices to support emotional regulation and reduce overwhelm. Motivational interviewing is part of his way of helping people find motivation for change when addiction or stuck patterns are present. Much of his work has involved bereavement support and counselling around loss.
He has provided support in community settings and in services for people with substance misuse and long-term mental health difficulties. He has experience offering one-to-one counselling and providing guidance to staff and carers in community services. Keith has provided clinical casework supervision since 2009 and holds a Level 4 diploma in casework supervision.
He supervises counsellors who are BACP registered and BACP accredited. He has also delivered training to multi-discipline teams across statutory and voluntary sectors for many years. People come to him for help with anxiety, depression, self-harm histories, relationship and intimacy-related struggles, grief, body image and identity questions.
He combines straightforward discussion, practical strategies and reflective work to help people move forward.

How Keith works online
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. They will adapt methods if something is not helping, so the process stays collaborative and tailored to each person.
Please confirm the exact online session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life - sessions can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins around work breaks, or reduce the need to be on camera when bandwidth is low. Many people find these practical benefits make it simpler to keep therapy going alongside everyday responsibilities.
