Hello, my name is William Signey, BA Hons. MBACP, I am a level 6 counsellor/psychotherapist with over 6 years of experience and over 2000 hours work with clients. I work in an integrative way offering a safe, confidential environment for my clients, enabling them to understand their feelings and emotions in this ever-changing and demanding world. I have worked with problems such as PTSD, Depression, Abuse, Sexual and Physical, Historical/Childhood issues, Neglect, Anxiety, Panic attacks, Suicidal ideation, Phobias, avoidance, etc.
I have experience working with adults and children from the age of 10 years old within clinical settings and schools on a private basis. I have also worked with a mental health charity in a voluntary capacity.
Clients tell me that I have a way of deep empathy and understanding of their situations, feelings, and emotions, in many cases for the first time in their lives.
We can work together, to build trust, empathy, confidence, and autonomy, helping not just initially but ongoing and into the future.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

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.

A very kind engaging person
Great help so far. William has been supportive in helping me deal with a very traumatic break up and has asked questions and provided guidance that helped think differently, positively and helped me to progress better through this difficult time.
Thank you for giving me tools to handle my situation and to be able again to see the beauty in life! I will continue for a month , since every session with you leaves me with sonething to go through the week. Thank you William!
William has been very supportive I appreciate his kindness and his willingness to just be.
William is a stand up fella , he is caring and always has great advice. He is a good person to have in your corner.
Really helped me open up and validate myself.
I'm so glad I changed to William because he understands me so much and works at my pace to help me overcome my emotions and stress etc without diving it deep first off because that would lead to unnecessary stress on my behalf. Would highly recommend him.
Amazing therapist and person. Very understanding, a great listener but also asks helpful questions that bring more understanding about yourself. Non-judgemental and thoughtful.
A kind hearted person, open and supportive.
William bas been very helpful. He knows when to listen and when to challenge me and always respectful.
I have never had a male councillor before, usually would run a mile if referred to one (my issue historically) However, William is very caring and I do feel safe with him. Thank you
Brilliant therapist! I have improved so much since therapy started, I just wish I started sooner with him :)
I am a therapist myself and I am getting so much benefit and insight from our sessions. William is deeply empathic, asks such thought-provoking questions and makes me feel very safe. I came to therapy feeling hopeless and stuck. After just a few sessions I have hope that I can feel better. Williams wisdom and expertise is creating a shift within myself. For 3 years I have been suffering with terrible PTSD symptoms but we are safely exploring the trauma together, in a measured and gentle way.
Very knowledgeable, compassionate and kind. Would recommend to anyone.
I very much enjoy talking with Billy. He listens attentively, acknowledges, and offers compassion and balanced feedback to help me navigate forwards. Thanks for you help so far Billy, I look forward to carrying on our work.
Very supportive therapist, the only reason I changed is because our availability doesn't match up
William has been so helpful even in such a short space of time. He has great questions and is very patient and interested. I've really enjoyed our sessions
