Jean williams – Professional Counsellor

I recognise that taking the first step into counselling can be intimidating. Having experienced my own difficult trials, I sought professional help and learned that no problem is too small or overwhelming. My aim is to create a comfortable and supportive environment for you.

In our sessions, we will typically:

• Explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe space.


• Work together to identify your goals and challenges.


• Develop strategies to manage your situation effectively.


• Foster a trusting relationship built on care and respect.


• Encourage open communication throughout the process.

I believe that seeking support is a courageous step. I hope to provide you with the same care and support that has stayed with me throughout my journey.

My main belief is that as a counsellor, my job is to help clients build healthy coping skills in a caring and understanding environment, enabling them to manage life's challenges effectively. Integrative means I have training in a wide range of methods and can tailor your therapy to suit your needs best. I find it very logical to combine different techniques and theories in my counselling work, and I tend to focus on person-centered, Gestalt, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Psychodynamic approaches. I also find grounding and mindfulness strategies helpful. With my background in Coaching skills, this will be part of my practice. 

I am an accredited registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). My practice adheres to the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice, ensuring a professional and ethical approach. I have worked with clients on a range of issues, with a keen interest in:

• Anxiety and social anxiety
