About Keith Williams

Keith Williams is a BACP-accredited counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 26 years of professional experience. He combines formal training and long practice to support people facing loss, addiction, relationship challenges, stress, anxiety, and a wide range of other concerns.

He holds a Level 5 Diploma in CBT, an advanced qualification in cognitive behavioural therapy, and a Level 4 Diploma in clinical case work supervision, which prepares him to provide clinical supervision to other practitioners. He is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and maintains regular continuing professional development to keep skills current.

Keith has worked across multiple settings, including the Social Services Department, The Bereavement Services, The Basement Night Drop-in Centre, and services for offenders and people with enduring mental health problems. He currently provides counselling at Daisey Inclusion, offering one-to-one support for people with autism spectrum conditions, ADHD, and long-term mental health issues, and he also supports staff members and parents who access that service. In private practice he offers individual counselling and provides clinical supervision to counsellors at Liverpool Bereavement Services, a role he has held since 2009, and to BACP registered and accredited counsellors in private practice.

An integrative practitioner, Keith draws from several therapeutic approaches to tailor support to each person. His work includes cognitive behavioural techniques, solution-focused methods, psychodynamic ideas, motivational interviewing, and elements of person-centred practice. He has a particular background in bereavement work and longstanding experience in substance misuse settings, and he has delivered training to multidisciplinary agencies across statutory, voluntary, and third-sector organisations.

Keith has worked with people of differing ages and from diverse communities and agencies, collaborating with services such as CAMHS and Early Intervention Psychosis teams when appropriate. Areas of clinical focus include stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, LGBT issues, relationships, family and intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting, anger, career and vocational issues, bipolar and depression, coping with life changes, coaching, and compassion fatigue. He also addresses related issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, codependency, communication and commitment problems, domestic violence, and drug and alcohol addiction. Keith aims to help individuals explore their strengths, build coping strategies, and arrive at outcomes that support greater well-being and resilience.

One of the clearest advantages is flexibility. People can choose the format that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or to access support from different locations.

Licensed professionals and therapists offer varied therapeutic styles and approaches, and individuals can change therapists if they need a different match.
