Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.

About Wats-on Your Mind Counselling
Hi, I’m Katie Watson, a qualified counsellor offering one-to-one support for individuals facing life’s everyday challenges - from anxiety, low mood and burnout to that deeper sense of feeling stuck or disconnected from yourself.
My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and rooted in the belief that we all have the capacity to grow, heal, and rediscover who we are - even when life has thrown us curveballs.
Before becoming a counsellor, I spent nine years out of work raising my family and caring full-time for my disabled son. Like many people, I wrestled with the idea of “starting again.” It wasn’t until a deeply personal loss through ill mental health that I decided to finally pursue what had always been in the back of my mind - training as a therapist.
I’ve always been the person people turn to when they need a good listener, and now I get to offer that space in a more intentional, supportive way. I work from a person-centred perspective, which means I see you as the expert in your own life. My job isn’t to fix or advise, but to walk alongside you - to help you understand yourself more deeply, reconnect with what matters to you, and make empowered choices for the life you want to live.
If you’re feeling a bit lost, stuck, or like you’ve lost sight of who you are… you’re not alone. It would be a privilege to support you as you find your way back to yourself
I’m a registered member of the BACP and also listed on Counselling Directory, Psychology Today, and Emote Care -professional platforms that verify therapists and provide additional information if you’d like to read more about my approach.
Approach
In our sessions together, my focus is on meeting you exactly where you are, without judgment or pretence. I take a person-centred, humanistic approach, honouring your unique experiences, strengths, and perspective. Creating a safe, supportive space for you is my top priority. I firmly believe that everyone, regardless of their challenges, has the capacity to heal. At a pace that feels right for you, we will work toward enhancing your well-being and sense of fulfilment. Whether we explore your past or focus on navigating the present, our work together will help you build a brighter, more fulfilling future.
My sessions aren’t about rigid clinical conversations; they are a space where you can be unapologetically you.
Services
I offer both short-term and long-term counselling, with flexible options to suit your needs — whether that’s face-to-face, online, by phone, or even through nature walks. I work with adults and young people aged 18 and over.
We’ll start with a free 20 minute initial consultation, where we can chat about what’s brought you to counselling and what you’d like to achieve. It’s a chance for us to see if we’re a good fit to work together. During this session, I’ll listen closely to your needs and we’ll discuss how I can best support you moving forward.
Counselling is usually arranged on a weekly, open-ended basis, with sessions continuing at your own pace, until you feel ready to conclude.
Fee: £50 per 50-minute session.

I’m a qualified Person-Centred counsellor, but I take a pluralistic approach to therapy. What that means is I believe you are the expert of your own experience. Since everyone is unique, I tailor my approach to meet the specific needs of each individual.
I’ve had the privilege of working with young people in a secondary school setting and with adults referred to a mental health charity in Cambridge. Throughout this work, I’ve provided both short and long-term therapy, helping people navigate a wide range of challenges.
Alongside my private practice, I continue to work with the charity in two roles: as a Therapist and Therapeutic Practitioner. I support young people and their families, using a systemic approach to address the impacts of trauma, abuse, and financial hardship. It’s incredibly rewarding to work with these families and has deepened my understanding of how generational trauma can shape lives.
