Dr. William Cook is a counsellor with 18 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. He offers support for people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction and relationship concerns. He also helps clients with ADHD, autism and a range of other life challenges, speaking English, Spanish and French.

He uses an integrative approach that draws on attachment-based work, client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural techniques. Sessions focus on practical steps alongside space to talk about painful experiences. The aim is to set clear goals, learn coping skills and build more fulfilling relationships.

William often helps people who are facing grief, parenting strain, career stress or chronic health issues. He also supports those coping with body image, sexual and intimacy concerns, and the particular stresses that come with caregiving and long-term illness. He pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns.

His background includes practice with community organisations and a history of writing about addiction and mental health. He lists BACP and NCPS among his professional credentials, which reflect registration with those bodies. He has worked in both one-to-one and couples contexts and can offer Christian counselling on request.

Sessions are arranged via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can be used to notice how clients relate in present-day conversations and practise new ways of connecting. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and supported while they make their own choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful cycles, useful for anxiety, mood and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. He will work collaboratively to identify goals, try methods that suit the client's needs, and adapt techniques as the work evolves. Decisions about emphasis and homework are made together, so the plan fits the person rather than fitting a model.

Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy life. Some people find shorter check-ins or telephone options helpful when they need less screen time or quicker support; others prefer video for face-to-face interaction.
