William Evans, BACP

William Evans is an integrative therapeutic counsellor based in Brandon, Suffolk, with four years of clinical experience. He is fully qualified, insured and professionally registered as MBACP, which means he is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He works with both adults and young people, drawing on a range of training that includes a BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling, a foundation degree in integrative counselling, and an advanced certificate in person-centred counselling.

William brings a warm and compassionate presence to his practice and places strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship as a key part of change. He creates a calm and empathetic space to explore the issues that matter to each person, using exploratory questions to deepen understanding and insight. His integrative approach blends person-centred methods, cognitive behavioural techniques and other modalities so that work is tailored to each client’s unique history and needs.

He has experience working creatively with children and young people in group settings, and provides one-to-one support for young people including those with Autism Spectrum Conditions as well as neurotypical clients. William is trained in LGBTQ+ issues and has developed a particular focus on men’s mental health, exploring how social expectations about gender can influence wellbeing. He aims to support autonomy, promote individuality and help clients make practical changes that improve how they cope with life, relationships and personal challenges.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

William draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed action toward a more meaningful life - it can be useful for anxiety, stress and problems with motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotion regulation, and can be helpful for people dealing with relationship issues, attachment difficulties and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-focused method that explores the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and is commonly used for anxiety, depression and stress-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. William works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the plan as therapy progresses in partnership with the client. This collaborative stance helps tailor support for relationship, emotional and life challenges.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to access help from different locations and at times that suit busy lives. These options support continuity of care, allow for varied communication styles, and help people maintain therapy alongside work, family and other commitments.
