Angela Williamson

Hello, and welcome.

I’m a qualified integrated person-centred counsellor, and I’m passionate about offering a safe, supportive space where you can explore whatever is going on for you—without fear of judgement.

I believe that each person’s journey is unique, and I work in a way that places you firmly at the heart of the process. My integrative approach means I draw on a range of therapeutic techniques, adapting to suit your individual needs, while always staying rooted in the core person-centred values of empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard.

I have experience working with a range of issues, including trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem, life changes, and grief. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or simply unsure where to start, I’ll walk alongside you at your pace, supporting you to better understand yourself and make sense of your experiences.

As a new practitioner, I bring fresh insight, genuine curiosity, and a deep commitment to building a trusting, therapeutic relationship. You're the expert on your life—I'm here to support you in finding clarity, resilience, and a greater sense of self.

I offer sessions from the comfort of my private home practice, as well as online, to ensure accessibility and flexibility to suit your lifestyle.

If anything here resonates with you, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Thank you for stopping by.

What to Expect in Your First Session

Before committing to therapy, I offer a free 20-minute phone or online appointment. This is a chance for us to briefly connect, for you to ask any questions, and to get a feel for whether working together feels right for you—no pressure, no obligation.

If you decide to move forward, our first full session will be an opportunity for us to get to know each other a little more. We'll explore what has brought you to therapy and what you might like to gain from it, while also going at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

As part of the assessment process, I may invite you to complete a brief questionnaire called the CORE-OM 34 (Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation – Outcome Measure). This is a widely used tool that helps us to get a snapshot of your emotional wellbeing at the start of therapy. It can also be a helpful way to track your progress over time, but it's always your choice whether you'd like to complete it.

Above all, that first session is about creating a safe and supportive space for you to begin your journey—where you feel heard, respected, and in control.
