About Rebecca

Rebecca Williams is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns, depression, addictions and a wide range of relationship and life challenges. Sessions are offered in English for adults aged 16 and over.

Rebecca describes her style as client-centred and integrative. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her approaches alongside acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking, cognitive behavioural techniques and other methods. In practice this means she listens to how feelings and relationships affect daily life, and then works with clients to try out different ways of responding.

Her background includes working with people who have ADHD, PTSD, complex anxiety, bereavement including suicide bereavement, and eating difficulties. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and follows the association's ethical framework. Her BACP membership is stated as her professional credential.

Therapy sessions tend to focus on immediate concerns and on practical steps that people can use between meetings. Rebecca uses a range of techniques such as mindfulness practices, cognitive strategies, and emotion-focused discussion to help people notice patterns and try alternatives. She also addresses wider life areas like sleep, parenting strain, work stress and career questions.

To begin clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange the first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Rebecca uses EFT, ACT and attachment ideas online

Rebecca uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people recognise and name strong emotions and the relationship patterns that keep them repeating. EFT can be useful for people who want to understand how emotions shape their reactions and connections with others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and to clarify values that guide practical action. Attachment-based work looks at how early connection experiences influence current relationships and emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore your goals, symptoms and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process may combine emotion-focused conversation with ACT exercises, CBT tools or attachment perspectives to suit what you want to address.

Details of which session formats are offered should be confirmed before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and reduce travel time. They also allow shorter check-ins or meetings that do not require video when that better fits a person's day. Confirm the exact session options when you arrange the first appointment so practical arrangements match your needs.
