Beverley-Ann Watts , NCPS

Beverley-Ann Watts is a counsellor who helps women and others facing grief, low mood, anxiety and life transitions. She works with people struggling with parenting pressures, self-esteem, addictions and workplace stress. Beverley-Ann aims to make talking about hard things easier and clearer from the first session.

She uses a person-centred approach that puts the client’s experience at the centre. That means she listens carefully and helps people find their own direction when life feels confusing. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused methods when they suit a particular concern.

Beverley-Ann has 13 years of experience and holds NCPS as a credential. Much of her work has involved grief and end-of-life issues, and she volunteers with a bereavement charity supporting people through mourning and loss. This background informs how she works with bereavement and related stress.

Sessions are conversational and practical. She will invite you to talk through what matters most and try small changes that can make days feel more manageable. Where useful, she may introduce ways to spot unhelpful thinking patterns or set short-term goals to build momentum.

People often come with questions about menopause, pregnancy and parenting strain, chronic illness or caregiver stress. Beverley-Ann helps clients name the problems, explore choices and plan realistic next steps. Her style is warm, straightforward and focused on what helps you move forward.

How her approaches work online and what to expect

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The counsellor reflects what you say and helps you discover your own answers, which is useful for grief, identity loss or midlife questions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thinking and try small behaviour changes that can ease anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. Beverley-Ann will talk through goals and preferences, then suggest tools from person-centred work, CBT or solution-focused methods as needed. The plan can change over time based on what helps you most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging can fit into a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or mobility concerns while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
