About William
William Signey is a counsellor with a BA (Hons) and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He brings six years of experience to his work and focuses on helping people make sense of strong emotions. William aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk about stress, anxiety, grief and other painful issues.
He uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. William draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions shape relationships and inner life.
Background and approach
He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice thoughts and take helpful action. William has worked across clinical settings and in schools, and he has volunteered with mental health charities. That experience informs how he supports people dealing with trauma, depression, addictions and self-harm, among other concerns.
He also focuses on issues such as adoption, autism spectrum concerns, infidelity and parenting strain. In sessions he aims to build trust and empathy, then help clients develop confidence and practical coping skills. He adapts his style to each person, keeping conversations straightforward and focused on what feels most useful.
Sessions are offered in English and William is available to work with international clients. He uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be cancelled at any time, and scheduling follows the platform process.

Online support
Using emotion-focused and evidence-based methods online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand how emotions shape their responses and connections. It is useful when strong feelings or patterns get in the way of relating to others or oneself.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches ways to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. It supports people to take small, values-guided steps even when emotions are hard.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early connection patterns and how they influence current behaviour and needs. It can help people make different choices in relationships and feel more supported in themselves.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. William will discuss goals and preferences and then choose methods together. The process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone can fit quick check-ins or low-bandwidth situations, and messaging lets people write when it suits them. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between sessions.
