Oliver Williams

About Me

Hi, I’m Oliver, an experienced psychotherapist and counsellor dedicated to fostering a relationship built on candour, respect, and a deep understanding of your unique experiences. 🌿

​

Alongside my role as an associate psychotherapist at The Priory, I’ve provided therapy through a domestic abuse agency, specialist Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP) for professionals, and a digital counselling service for children and young people. I’ve also worked with the long-term unemployed via the Department for Work and Pensions, helping demonstrate the effectiveness of talk therapy to the UK government. 💬✨

​

Additionally, I wrote, produced, and directed a short film called The Dark Heart Therapy, aimed at encouraging men and boys to feel more comfortable accessing therapy. 🎥 This film is now used by various organisations to drive male engagement in therapeutic services. 💡

TESTIMONIAL

(1) “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.”

(2) “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."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.”

(3) “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.”
