About Angus Watson MBACP
Hi, I'm Angus a qualified Person-Centred Counsellor and registered member of the BACP, based in Skipton. I offer face-to-face & online Person-Centred counselling that puts you at the heart of every session. Having worked in the charitable sector for over 8 years, with a particular focus on community and disability services it has formed my awareness of the complexities, challenges, and unpredictability that makes us human.
Every experience of sadness, anxiety, or distress I encounter reveals its own logic when examined with care and understanding. I appreciate everyone's individuality and uniqueness, however, being seen, heard, and understood can be very important in dealing with difficult life issues.
When you share whatever is weighing on your mind, whether it's anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem, together, in a compassionate and safe therapeutic space, we can begin the journey towards coping and finding a way forward.
Starting counselling can be challenging and feelings of anxiety from taking the first step are common. So, let's meet together and speak about how I can support you.
In-Person Counselling
A calm, private space in Skipton where you can speak freely and be heard without judgement. The room is quiet, grounded, and set up so that you can settle and take things at your own pace.
Online Counselling
Support that comes to you, wherever you are in the UK. Sessions take place securely online, offering the same care and presence as meeting face-to-face, in the comfort of your own space.

Background: I have over 8 years of experience working in the charitable sector within West Yorkshire, most recently within Disability Advocacy services. I have led a person centred disability program for people with lived experience. This work supports people to experience the best life they can live on their terms. I carried out this work all whilst practicing counselling with clients in the Pendle region for two years with a variety of clientele from differing backgrounds. The combination of my experience has given me an appreciation of the variety of trauma, anxiety and distress people face which informs my approach to therapy.
