Beinn Watson

I work flexibly where possible and operate a sliding scale pricing policy from £40-£60 for weekly therapy.

I have upcoming daytime availability on Mondays from 8th January 2024 and will have additional Tuesday availability during daytime and early evening from March 2024. Currently, I am fully-booked on Thursdays but have openings from time to time.

I'd love to hear from you if you think I can be of help.

* Please note that my initial emails often won't make it to your inbox, unless you've emailed me directly first. If you provide a phone number as well as an email with your BACP enquiry, I will follow up by text message to let you know that I've been in touch. Occasionally there are delays in receiving your referral but I will always respond. You may also contact me directly by email at beinn.watson@hey.com

My name, Beinn (pronounced 'Ben'), means 'mountain' or 'hill' in Gaelic. This may be a useful analogy for the type of support I can provide as you explore the world and the difficulties it throws up. I offer a consistent presence and an accepting, empathic relationship at whatever point I might join you as you chart your path through life.

How I work

My practice is based around Person-Centred Experiential Therapy and I hold an MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy with distinction, from Strathclyde University. I offer this alongside Emotion-Focused Therapy and I am currently trained to Level 2. This means I can offer you a balance between an open, exploratory approach and specific therapeutic interventions to suit your needs and processing style. I believe in transparent, evidence-based practice and encourage regular dialogue around the therapeutic work, adjusting my approach in response.

How I can help

I help a diverse range of people, have undertaken disability equality training and am committed to accessible and anti-discriminatory practice. I have worked with a wide range of experiences including disability, learning disability, chronic illness, autism, ADHD, neurodivergence, social-anxiety, trauma, self-harm, gender, sexuality, relationships, loss and redundancy.

Where and how

I work in-person in Glasgow and offer online therapy UK wide.

I am BACP registered therapist no. 400364 and adhere to the ethical code of practice.

In line with my commitment to access, I operate a sliding scale pricing policy and will happily discuss what you can afford.

What to expect

In our first session we'll spend time getting to know each other and exploring your needs as well as setting up the basic parameters of therapy. It may be that you've been carrying a feeling for some time and you need space to work with it immediately or you may feel unsure of where to begin. I can help you with both of these things and will tailor my approach to your processing style. Sessions are 50 minutes long but some time in our initial meeting may be set aside for contracting.

Getting started

I offer a free 20 minute introductory chat via Zoom or phone to help you find out if I'm the right fit for you. I look forward to meeting you and finding out how I can help.
