About me
Hello, I'm Angela Watson, a qualified psychotherapist in Birmingham and National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) member.
I'm a mental health professional with over 20 years of clinical experience helping clients to overcome personal obstacles. With a global perspective, I've cultivated through living and working in different countries and cultures. I comprehend the unique challenges a diverse environment and way of life can bring.
I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, teens and families from diverse communities. I spent fifteen years working in the U.S.A. as a family therapist and have worked in different sectors, from corporate and non-profit to education. I also specialise in workplace issues and challenges, especially within the not-for-profit sector.
As a psychotherapist, I focus on crafting attainable goals tailored specifically to you. I aim to provide a supportive environment where you can foster your creativity, regain motivation and equip yourself with the necessary tools to prioritise self-care, self-respect and self-esteem. Therapy is a voyage of self-love, self-exploration, and self-actualisation, where each step forward is a noteworthy achievement that deserves recognition.
My therapeutic approach is centred on you; together, we build trust, collaboration and connection. I draw upon various modalities tailored specifically to you and am committed to embracing all identities, irrespective of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, ability or religion.
