Beverley-Ann Watts, NCPS

Beverley-Ann Watts is a United Kingdom based therapist with 13 years of experience who supports people through grief, parenting challenges, low mood, anxiety, addictions, and major life transitions. She works with those coping with loss of identity from long-term illness or chronic conditions and has a particular interest in women’s health, including the emotional impacts of the peri-menopause and menopause. Her practice also addresses stress, self esteem, relationship difficulties, and a wide range of additional concerns such as caregiver strain, workplace problems, isolation, and midlife issues.

Beverley-Ann places a person-centered approach at the heart of her work, listening with empathy and compassion and inviting clients to explore what is causing their unhappiness. She believes people are the experts on their own lives and aims to help them rediscover direction and purpose without judgment. Building trust and connection in the therapeutic relationship is central to how she works, creating space for honest reflection and change.

She holds the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification, and brings both clinical experience and voluntary bereavement counselling to her practice. Beverley-Ann tailors her methods to each individual, sometimes integrating other models when specific issues call for them, and offers support to guide clients toward clearer goals and improved coping.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions with Beverley-Ann Watts

Beverley-Ann primarily draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach supports people dealing with grief, low mood, loss of identity, and life transitions by emphasizing empathy, listening, and the client’s own insights. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to help identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress; it provides practical tools for changing responses to difficult situations. She also uses solution-focused techniques to help clients clarify goals and identify small, achievable steps toward change, which can be especially useful for parenting issues, workplace concerns, and short-term problem solving.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Beverley-Ann works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods as the work progresses to ensure the approach fits the individual.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or health limitations and allow clients to access support from home. Beverley-Ann uses these formats to maintain continuity of care and to make therapy accessible for those navigating grief, chronic conditions, parenting demands, or major life changes.
