Jean Watson

I work with most issues, ranging from anxiety, stress, relationships etc to addictions (of all kinds) and Personality Disorders, whether they be for individuals or relationships. I also have extensive experience of workplace stress and work globally online. My style of Counselling can be summed up as conversational, informative, and effective. I support client(s) not only in finding out the cause of their issues, but more importantly, how they can change their thinking to move past them and to integrate their new skills back into their lives which, going forward, ensures a good sense of resilience to see them on their journey through life. I know how hard it can be for clients to confide in strangers, even professional counsellors like myself, so I make the process as easy and as relaxed as possible. Sometimes just this in itself is enough for someone to organise and verbalise their thoughts in order that they can move on. But sometimes the issues are more deep-rooted and need bringing to the surface before we can deal with them. This may require more thought provoking work with a client. This is just what some of the people I have worked with have said about working with me: “Good communication with me” “I’ve never done anything like this previously. Very nice lady, easy to talk to. I really trusted and liked her” “Loved her. Clear and supportive!!!” “Jean made me feel relaxed and at ease, very easy to talk to I didn’t feel at any point there was any pressure while we talked which when your dealing with emotional issues is very important” “Jean has been brilliant for us, we are into our 3rd session with her, and she really makes us look at things from a different point of view. We can’t fault her at all. We so pleased to have found Jean!” “Jean was very friendly and knew a lot about my condition and shined some light to my partner about that as well as giving us strategies to work with” "Jean was very supportive and understanding and gave me strategies to work on and recommended useful material for me” “Had a great first session Jean is very friendly and welcoming” “Very helpful, easy to understand” “Jean made me feel very able to explore my feelings, challenging me when needed and gave me the clarity I needed to get on with things!” “Very understanding and really helped me to open up and see my challenges in a different light”
