Welcome to Angela Williamson Counselling

Welcome
As an integrative, person-centred counsellor, I offer a safe and supportive space where you can explore what’s going on for you—without fear of judgement.

My Background
Before training as a counsellor, I had a long and varied career in healthcare. After qualifying as a Registered General Nurse (RGN) and completing a B.Sc., I developed a strong foundation in both physical and emotional well-being—an understanding that deeply informs my therapeutic work today.

My experience includes roles in health promotion, where I supported people in making meaningful, informed choices about their health, and running a massage therapy business, which deepened my appreciation of the mind-body connection and how emotional distress can manifest physically.

My Approach
This background continues to shape my practice. I’ve always been passionate about holistic well-being—not just physical health, but the emotional and psychological aspects that are so closely intertwined. I have a particular interest in the impact of long-term conditions like fibromyalgia, and how they can affect identity, self-esteem, and mental health.

As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I follow their ethical framework and am committed to ongoing professional development. My approach combines my healthcare experience with therapeutic training to offer well-rounded, compassionate support.

I work in a way that puts you at the centre of the process. My integrative style draws on a range of therapeutic models to suit your individual needs, always grounded in the core person-centred values of empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard.

Areas of Experience
I have worked with a variety of issues, including:

• Trauma
   
• Anxiety
   
• Grief and loss
   
• Low self-esteem
   
• Life transitions
   

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin, I’ll walk alongside you—helping you make sense of your experiences and connect more deeply with yourself.

Where I Work
I offer sessions from my private home practice in the beautiful market town of Strathaven, within easy reach of East Kilbride, Hamilton, and surrounding areas. I also provide online counselling via a secure, confidential platform.

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