Larry Watson

I have availability Mon to Fri.

I am a vastly experienced counsellor working with clients to address personal issues and as a coach addressing professional issues on a one to one basis within the contained environment of a room or alternatively a walk & talk approach on the hills of Surrey. Feedback comments have always been positive, particularly from walking and talking with clients, ‘I really enjoyed getting out, getting away from it all, even just stretching my legs, the wind in my hair, the sense of space to breath and relax, unwind, let it all go, amazing, feel so much better, thanks, would never have thought of it!’ Testimonial by S. G.

In a room or out in all elements which in and of itself can introduce the element of change just by facing the weather, hail or shine, daylight or darkness it is change, facing a different outlook, stars or clouds it matters not, change is key.

Change is constantly happening which we often deny or avoid. We feel depressed, overwhelmed, out of our depth, struggling, stressed, anxious, confused, lost without knowing where to turn or how to cope.

Being proactive, orchestrating our own change, taking charge of ourselves, is hugely empowering, gaining self-worth, gaining a sense of purpose and direction is cathartic!

My role is to facilitate you understanding yourself, enabling change.

Description recently given by a client:

Larry came highly recommended by a friend. I had encountered considerable stress, loss and pain over the last year which resulted in heightened anxiety and physical stress symptoms. It was of paramount importance to me that I process my feelings in a constructive and positive way in order to move on with my life. During my counselling sessions Larry would help me explore complex relationships, fears, pain and negative thoughts. By the end of each session he would leave me with a greater understanding, a simple and more positive way of looking at a problem, the knowledge that there was one less thing to worry about and time to mourn. As time went by I found myself feeling less burdened mentally with a much clearer picture of my life, thoughts and feelings. Larry is a professional, experienced, knowledgeable, skilled, calm and very personable Counsellor who I would recommend without hesitation. Testimonial from CW. 

Larry provided a safe space for me to explore my thoughts and feelings not only about past events but how these thoughts and feelings affect my present behaviours.  Testimonial from JF

With new awareness I have been able to make changes in areas of my life that needed more positive attention.  Testimonial from GLH

I wanted to work with a counselor who would challenge me in a way that I wouldn’t feel judged and Larry organically achieved this.

Testimonial from AC

I found his approach of looking in to the past, exploring the present and suggesting activities between sessions provided me with a holistic approach to my therapy. Testimonial from JR

I have a background information form that I ask you initially to complete and return which includes your desired outcome that you want to achieve from your sessions.  

Usually followed by a brief telephone conversation to satisfy any questions you may have and to explain and discuss the specific approach appropriate to your particular issue.  You are then ready to start your sessions as agreed. 

However therapy often uncovers further issues for consideration which would be discussed during the ongoing sessions or their maybe uncertainty around your exact concerns in which case we will explore your situation to identify what is troubling you.

I have availability Mon - Fri.

I use the 7 eyed supervision model, 1-1 or group online or face to face working with individuals, organisations or charities providing counselling services.

I consider supervision and personal therapy to be essential for all counselling practitioners in safeguarding clients, practitioners and the profession.

First sessions are negotiable in order to establish requirements for each practitioner to maintain and sustain the uniqueness of their approach within ethical boundaries.
