About me
I am qualified in person-centred therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and solution-focused approaches. I have also studied and practise mindfulness. I have 16 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.

I must say I really appreciate the respect and the true heart felt experience I have had with my therapist, he has brought me so far and helping me to love myself and be strong. My therapist listens, does his best to understand me. Thanks to my therapist I am starting to feel like a person again. Thank you, you are a true legend at what you do, ay the Lord continue to bless and keep you.

William offers a route to “connect the dots” in a way I have never previously experienced - in therapy. His ability to connect to what it is you truly need, is really quite astounding. I have found our sessions profoundly useful and life-altering. I highly recommend William, in full confidence.

I’ve Only had 3 sessions with William so far and he’s been amazing for me! He listens so well and has excellent knowledge on every aspect we’ve come across. Always prepared to listen and is so calm and collective to speak to. I feel so comfortable opening up about my issues and feels such a safe place to talk.
Can’t wait to continue seeing William as each session is getting better and better to help my understand the issues within myself!
