Keith Williams

I provide online therapy sessions only and my hours of availability are as follows:

Monday to Thursday: 6-30pm to 10pm

Saturdays:  8am to 2pm. 

I offer a counselling relationship within which you can feel safe and can explore whatever is causing you distress. With warmth, empathy, humour, and respect, I will help you to discover ways of living more resourcefully and authentically and will try to understand you and your experiences without being in any way judgemental.  My foundation was in person centred therapy but I am much more eclectic in my therapy delivery currently

I have been practicing for the last 25 years and offer and number of interventions that suit, individuals such as. Person Centred Therapy, Solution brief therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Addictions therapy.  I am proficient in Motivational Interviewing and tiem limited interventions. 

My role is to empower clients to gain as much as they can out of sessions, so they address their issues and become self reliant and self sufficient 

At your first session, you will have an opportunity to explore and talk about what has brought you to counselling, ask questions about how the process works.  What therapy is and what it isn't, and discuss any concerns you have. Confidentiality , safety and your security during following sessions and any risk and how, this may be limited in your sessions and signposting to the relevant emergency agencies to meet those identified risk as the first session.  During this session and, if you choose to continue, in subsequent sessions, you will be encouraged to express your feelings and thoughts, explore the issues which are troubling you, and discover ways of living more resourcefully. The work you do will be about self-discovery and about finding solutions which are right for you, rather than receiving advice or being told what to do.
