About Oliver
Oliver Williams is a psychotherapist and counsellor with five years of clinical experience. He holds BACP registration, and he aims to build honest, respectful relationships with the people he meets. Oliver keeps sessions straightforward and practical so clients can focus on small changes that make a difference.
His background includes work as an associate psychotherapist at a well-known UK mental health provider and work with a domestic abuse agency. He has delivered therapy through employee assistance programmes for professionals and provided digital counselling services for children and young people.
Background and approach
He has also worked on projects with the Department for Work and Pensions supporting people who have been long-term unemployed. Oliver pays attention to how emotions shape relationships and behaviour. He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas alongside client-centred and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people understand feelings and try new ways of coping.
He also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused approaches to support practical steps forward. He has an interest in issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment problems, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and fatherhood issues. He also addresses anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, anger and workplace stress.
Outside clinical work Oliver wrote, produced and directed a short film called The Dark Heart Therapy. The film aims to make therapy feel more accessible to men and boys and is used by organisations to encourage male engagement with therapeutic services.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions shape the way people respond and connect. Online work with these ideas focuses on naming feelings, tracking patterns that cause upset, and practising new responses in everyday situations. This can help people who struggle with emotional reactivity, intimacy-related issues, or ongoing attachment worries.Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what is said and helps the person find their own direction. This is useful for people wanting a supportive space to make sense of life changes, grief or low self-esteem.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Clients and therapist then try methods that fit those needs and adapt them as work progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video helps with face-to-face conversation, phone can be better when bandwidth is low, live chat allows quicker check-ins and messaging supports shorter, ongoing contact. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
