WELCOME
DR. RHEA WILLIAMS PSYCHOLOGY
LONDON
About Me
I have a diverse background in counselling and clinical psychology. I have worked with a variety of client groups that present with various different mental health and neurological challenges including eating disorders, relationship difficulties, personality disorders, psychosis, anxiety and depressive disorders, chronic pain, PTSD, OCD, domestic violence, and complex trauma, including childhood sexual abuse.
​
I use an integrative approach in therapy, with a particular emphasis on psychodynamic psychotherapy. I also have a special interest in Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT).
​
I have worked across a number of organisations, both in the National Health Service (NHS) and privately, and am a Chartered member of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered.

ALL ABOUT THERAPY
Anxious and overwhelming thoughts keeping you up at night? Do difficult events from the past ripple into how you relate to the people around you today-showing up as mistrust, people pleasing or a constant sense of being on edge? Are your difficulties impacting your daily functioning and intimate relationships where you find yourself repeating unhelpful patterns? You do not have to carry this alone. Therapy can provide a safe, non-judgemental space to gently explore the difficulties that echo in your current life.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate and holistic: we go at your pace, honouring what you've survived while building the insight and tools to move forward. We go beyond symptom relief to open doors to deeper self-discovery and acceptance. My holistic approach to therapy combines both evidence-based strategies alongside incorporating and understanding the important connection between our mind and body.
​Whether this the first time you are exploring therapy or something you have experienced before, finding someone you can trust and relate to is an essential first step, and it can be daunting to know where to begin. I create a space where your experiences are met with genuine compassion and without judgement-where we can make sense of what you're going through, and work towards change.

SESSIONS
The initial consultation involves a detailed understanding of a client's concerns, symptoms, and emotional well-being, taking into account medical, family and experiential history. It typically lasts a bit longer than regular sessions.
​
Regular sessions typically last ~50 minutes.
​
"Hear Me Out" - Longer term therapy may not be what you need or what you are looking for. Sometimes all you need is for someone to hear you out - that's what these shorter 25 minute sessions are meant for.
STUDENT DISCOUNTS
I offer reduced fee appointments for students and psychologists/psychotherapists in training.
TRAINING & SUPERVISION
I offer training and supervision to both qualified and in-training counselling psychologists and therapists.
