I feel like a changed person since my sessions with Oliver. He took time to listen to my problems and was able to guide our sessions appropriately. After years and years of suffering, I wasn’t hopeful that anyone or anything could help me but I was so wrong. Oliver’s methods pieced together areas of my life I thought were unrelated and managed to quickly open my eyes to how my brain was working and allow me to get control of things again. He is very knowledgeable and was also able to guide me onwards to different methods of therapy which might help me in the future too. Couldn’t be more grateful!

As an experienced psychotherapist and counsellor, I can offer an equal relationship of candour and respect for your unique experience.
As well as being an associate psychotherapist for The Priory I have provided therapy through a domestic abuse agency, specialist employee assistance programmes (EAP) for professional adults and a digital counselling service for children and young people. I have also worked with the long-term unemployed via the Department for Work and Pensions, helping to prove the success of talk therapy to the UK government.
I have written, produced and directed a short film called The Dark Heart Therapy to help men and boys feel easier about accessing therapy. My movie is used by organisations to drive male engagement in therapeutic services.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Oliver has been incredibly helpful in working with me to understand issues I've had around anxiety. He's smart, a good listener and asks the right questions at the right times. I'm sure I'm not the only person he's helped make progress and turn a corner.
I've been with Oliver for almost a year now and look forward to our sessions each week. Oliver uses not only his professional expertise but also his great empathy, excellent listening skills, and sage advice to support his patients as they do the hard work of making lasting change.
I have really enjoyed my sessions with Oliver so far. I noticed an immediate drop in my anxiety level. He actively listens to me and has been reassuring. He cares about my progress and I feel supported to open up in the sessions. He is also able to get me to think more about feelings; challenging me when I need it and offering support and reassurance throughout.
Easy to talk to , understanding good overall.
Oliver is highly perceptive and a unique individual. He is honest, empathetic, respectful and has a calming presence. It’s always a pleasure talking to him.
Oliver is a consummate professional, highly empathetic, a great listener and easy to open up to. He offers different perspectives on situations, tools and ideas to try to put into practice, and is supportive when patients take steps towards lasting change. I cannot recommend him enough.
Good easy to talk feels like he cares.
Oliver is a wonderful therapist, who communicates with intelligence, genuine warmth, and care. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
From the very first session Oliver has been empathetic, responsive and always professional. In a short time he has made me feel very comfortable and we've set out on a positive journey together which I am confident will help me make the long-term changes I want to make.
Very insightful, much more confident in pulling me up and analysing what I’ve said. I feel he’s helped me find the root cause of different difficult aspects in my life. He’s the third therapist I’ve had, over the space of a few years, and definitely the best.
Oliver is extremely perceptive and helpful. I feel like this is the first time I've ever felt that therapy has been getting me somewhere.
Oliver is an amazing therapist! Cannot recommend enough. Best on BetterHelp
Oliver Williams is an amazing therapist. I feel so much better after our sessions. Very professional, educated and Organised. He has helped me a lot and helped me look at situations from a different perspective. I would recommend having Oliver as a partner (therapist) to work through your issues and emotions.
So helpful and informative
Oliver is a fantastic therapist. I have had lots of counselling before in the past but personally really respond better to Oliver's style to others I have experienced. He brings himself into the room and I do not feel like I am talking into a void. This makes it easier for me to bring in issues I am experiencing and feel less guarded. Oliver provides a safe, professional and enlightening space and I have no troubles recommending him to anyone.
Oliver was my first experience of using a therapist. He was very helpful in assisting me to get over a relationship problem. As an example, he picked up on many comments I made which to me were just sentences. Oliver encouraged me to expand further on what I meant by saying those things, which in some cases turned out to be very deep held beliefs and underlying hurt/pain which needed to be addressed. Oliver also gave me some great advice on how to increase my chances to meet the kind of person who might be suitable for a future relationship. I would happily come back to Oliver in future if I needed to clear any other blocks or challenges I may have.
