About Keith

Keith Williams is a counsellor with 26 years of practice who uses a person-centred approach. He draws on that foundation to offer straightforward support for stress, anxiety, addiction and grief. He works in English and accepts international clients from the United Kingdom.

Keith holds BACP and keeps continuing professional development up to date. Keith combines person-centred listening with cognitive behavioural tools and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions focus on what matters now - symptoms, triggers and practical ways to cope.

Background and approach

He can also use motivational interviewing to help with change and recovery from substance misuse. His background includes work with social services, bereavement services, night drop-in centres and substance misuse services. He has provided one-to-one counselling for people with long-term mental health issues, autism spectrum presentations and related needs, and has supported staff and parents at community services.

Keith has delivered training across statutory and voluntary sectors for nearly three decades. He has acted as a practice tutor for social work students and has been providing clinical casework supervision since 2009. He also offers personal counselling and supervision to other BACP professionals.

In sessions he aims to listen first and then try practical steps together. That might mean setting small goals, trying a CBT technique, or reflecting on past patterns. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Ways of working Keith names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Keith draws on person-centred practice and cognitive behavioural therapy in online sessions. Person-centred work means listening closely and helping people find their own way forward with empathy and respect; it suits worries about identity, relationships and life changes. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood or sleep problems. Motivational interviewing can also be used online to support change around addictions and lifestyle choices by exploring ambivalence and building motivation.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and practical needs and then try approaches together. That collaborative process means methods can be adjusted over time if something feels unhelpful or a different focus is needed.

Online formats offer flexibility and different ways to communicate. Video calls suit structured sessions where visual contact helps the conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging enable shorter check-ins, journaling between sessions and a written record of progress. These options make it simpler to keep therapy going around work, family or travel commitments.
