William Evans, BACP
Compassionate counsellor blending listening and practical therapy
Book with WilliamAbout William
William Evans is a counsellor with a calm, straightforward style. He uses person-centred listening paired with practical therapy methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and other concerns. He holds a BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP).
William believes the relationship between counsellor and client matters most. Sessions begin with warm listening and exploratory questions. That helps people make sense of difficult feelings and decide what change feels right for them.
Background and approach
He blends approaches to match each person’s needs, drawing on cognitive behavioural ideas alongside acceptance and attachment-based thinking. This mix is used to tackle issues such as trauma, addictions, self-esteem and grief. William also addresses concerns around intimacy, sleeping problems, career stress and coping with life changes.
William has worked with people from LGBT communities and has carried out related awareness training. He has four years of professional experience and has focused recently on men’s mental health and how social expectations affect wellbeing. Sessions can involve talking through difficult memories, practising new ways to respond to thoughts, or developing values-based actions to move forward.
He aims to help people feel more in control, reduce overwhelm and find clearer ways to cope day to day.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
William uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes by encouraging practical steps rooted in what matters to the person.He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy which looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and reacting. This approach often helps with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and patterns that repeat in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. William will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the person’s needs. That collaborative process helps shape sessions and keeps the work practical and relevant.
Please confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are offered. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits someone's schedule. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings, avoid being on camera, or use brief phone catch-ups when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can adapt the way they use ACT and attachment work to suit remote sessions and help clients make steady progress.
