Beverley-Ann Watts , NCPS

Beverley-Ann Watts supports people navigating the difficult and varied challenges that life can bring, including bereavement, relationship difficulties, low mood, confidence and self esteem concerns, and the loss of identity that can follow illness or long term health conditions. She has a particular interest in women’s health and the difficulties that peri-menopause and menopause can present, offering understanding and practical support for those transitions.

Her work is grounded in a person-centered approach that recognises each person as the expert on their own life. Beverley-Ann aims to help people who feel lost or uncertain about their direction by listening with empathy and compassion and by inviting open conversation about whatever is causing distress. She values building trust and connection in the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for exploring challenges in a non-judgemental space.

While person-centered work is central to her practice, she may draw on other approaches for particular issues, such as transactional analysis for relationship concerns. Beverley-Ann also volunteers with a bereavement charity, counselling people through grief journeys, and offers counselling support to those experiencing loss. She holds the NCPS credential, a recognised professional counselling qualification, and works with adults across a range of emotional and life difficulties.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful and empathetic space where the person’s own perspectives and choices guide the work. It helps with issues like low mood, identity changes, stress, and relationship concerns by prioritising understanding and collaboration.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are connected and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and some aspects of grief and addiction recovery.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Beverley-Ann will work collaboratively with each person to identify the methods that best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the pace and style as the work unfolds.

Online therapy with Beverley-Ann is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit counselling into busy schedules and to access support from home. These options provide flexibility for those managing health issues, caregiving responsibilities, work commitments, or mobility limitations, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on meaningful and effective conversation.
