About Keith
Keith Williams is a counsellor with 26 years of practice. He holds BACP accreditation, and he combines person-centred values with practical therapy methods to help people facing anxiety, addictions, grief and related challenges. He aims to make sessions straightforward and focused so people feel understood and guided.
He uses a blend of approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness and motivational interviewing. Sessions often start by identifying what feels most urgent, then working step by step on small, achievable changes.
Background and approach
Keith draws on experience supporting people through trauma, bereavement and long-term mental health difficulties. His background includes work across social services, bereavement support and substance misuse services. He has provided one-to-one counselling in voluntary sector settings and in independent practice.
Since 2009 he has offered clinical supervision to counsellors at Liverpool Bereavement Services and to other BACP-registered professionals. Keith has delivered training to statutory and third-sector teams for many years. That work informs his straightforward teaching style in sessions, where he explains tools clearly and helps people practise them between meetings.
He values listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions. People come to Keith for help with stress, anxiety, addiction, low mood, relationship and intimacy issues, phobias, sleep or eating difficulties, and career or life changes. He offers a calm, practical approach that aims to help people make steady progress.
How his approaches work online and what to expect
Keith commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in his online work. CBT involves spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety or low mood. Client-centred work focuses on listening and empathy so people can find their own answers with support.He also draws on mindfulness techniques to help manage stress and build calm through simple attention exercises. Each method is explained plainly and practised during sessions so people can try tools between meetings and see what helps most.
Finding the right way of working is collaborative. The therapist will ask about your goals and preferences, try approaches that fit those aims, and adjust the plan together over time. This means the method can change as needs do, and people help steer the process.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and practising techniques. Phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit a shorter break at work. Live chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or ongoing notes between sessions. These options give flexibility for different schedules, communication styles and practical needs.
