About me and my therapy practice

Hello I am Lesley Watt. I am an experienced counsellor offering an integrated approach to counselling which combines Person Centred, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and  Psychodynamic counselling. I work with individual adults and young people aged 18 years plus.  I want to provide you with an opportunity to explore what is going on in your life, create a safe confidential space to talk about it and look at ways to help you move towards change. I appreciate that none of this is easy.

Do you feel trapped in a cycle of unhelpful/negative thinking? How does your thinking affect your behaviour? Is your past affecting your present? Let’s explore these together.  

There are many reasons why people decide to seek help through counselling. I would like to offer my services to you particularly if you are struggling with anxiety and depression, work related issues, faith, grief & loss, relationship issues, the impact of COVID, weight loss and maintenance, and any other life issues which may be causing you to feel stuck. 

Ethics and Regulating Governing Body - I am an Accredited member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) which is the UK regulating governing body for safe practice. I am also registered with COSCA (Counselling & Psychotherapy in Scotland) as an Accredited (BACP) Member. I adhere to both these organisations Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am a registered member of the ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office).  I am fully insured and maintain continuous professional development 

I offer short and long term counselling usually 4-6 sessions initially with a review to discuss if you require more sessions.  I will be happy to tailor our sessions to best meet your needs.  Life can be challenging but you do not need to do it alone.  

 

I look forward to hearing from you.
