Timothy Williamson, BACP

Timothy Williamson offers an approachable, integrative style that draws on attachment, client-centred, cognitive and psychodynamic ideas. He is known as Tim and uses online sessions to help adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, grief or difficult life changes. He keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what you want to work on right now.

Tim has three years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential. He offers both shorter courses of work and longer-term support according to each person’s needs. Sessions take place online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

In practice he listens first to make sense of the issues you bring. Tim helps people identify patterns in relationships and mood, and looks at how past experiences may influence present struggles. He uses clear tools from cognitive behavioural work alongside reflective conversation to reduce symptoms and build coping skills.

Grief and bereavement receive particular attention, including loss by suicide, where Tim aims to hold a steady, compassionate space to talk. He also supports people coping with addiction, trauma, ADHD-related challenges and stress linked to life transitions.

Sessions are conversational and pragmatic. Tim encourages small steps that fit into everyday life, and checks progress together so the work stays relevant and useful.

How Tim’s approaches translate to online therapy

Tim uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early relationships shape current reactions. This can be useful when patterns of closeness or withdrawal cause ongoing stress or hurt. He also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical steps to reduce anxiety, panic and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is something Tim treats as a collaboration. He will listen to your goals, try different ways of working and check in regularly about what helps. Together you decide which methods to focus on so the work fits your situation and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller connection is wanted, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or days when typing feels simpler. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and busy schedules and help maintain continuity when life gets in the way.
