More about William
- 14 years' experience
- Male
- BACP
I am qualified in person-centred therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and solution-focused approaches. I have also studied and practise mindfulness. I have 14 years experience of working as a psychotherapist.
Based in Manchester, UK, I offer online and telephone counselling sessions. My approach is warm, friendly, and compassionate. I provide a safe, non-judgemental space where you can be yourself and explore any issues that may be causing confusion or distress.
I work in a person-centred way, meaning our sessions are led by you. You decide what we talk about, and we will always work at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to its Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
