Beverley-Ann Watts, NCPS

Beverley-Ann Watts helps people who are struggling with grief, low mood, anxiety or the stress of life changes. She works with parents, people coping with addictions, and those facing issues around self-esteem and workplace pressure. Beverley-Ann uses straightforward listening and gentle questioning to help people find small, practical steps forward.

She follows a client-centred approach, which means she focuses on the person in front of her and believes people know themselves best. That approach shapes most sessions, where empathy and respect come first. Beverley-Ann also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused ideas when an issue needs clearer structure or short-term planning.

Her background includes 13 years of counselling experience and a credential of NCPS. She volunteers with a bereavement charity and has worked with people navigating loss and end-of-life concerns. That volunteering informs how she supports bereavement and hospice-related worries.

Beverley-Ann pays particular attention to women’s health, including the challenges around peri-menopause and menopause, and to people who feel their identity has shifted because of illness or long-term conditions. She can help parents and young adults with communication and blended family tensions while keeping practical goals in view.

Sessions are led by the client’s priorities and pace. Beverley-Ann invites honest conversation and focuses on building trust so that people can talk through what matters and try new ways of coping.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so clients can make sense of their feelings and decide what matters most to them.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It involves practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.

Motivational interviewing supports people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to strengthen motivation and clarify goals, which can be useful for addiction or lifestyle adjustments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and agree on what feels right. Decisions are made together, based on the person’s goals, practical needs and preferences.

Please confirm available session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online counselling can help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and making it easier to join from different places. It can also allow shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling to suit work and family demands.
