Watershed Therapy
Welcome to
Watershed Therapy
Offering conscious, inclusive, confidential space to explore your thoughts and feelings.
Our approach
Watershed Counselling Practice was created by Cath Yankson and Amber Djemal. The practice developed from the idea that counselling/therapy should be accessible and welcoming, as well as professional and reliable and provide a safe space in which individuals can address difficulties or struggles in their lives.
Both practitioners have over 20 years experience, working with individuals and running groups within the education, charity and public sectors. Our ethos grew out of a commitment to inclusivity and from our understanding of diversity issues.
How it works
Counselling/therapy is a chance to talk through current issues and problems in your life or those you have experienced in the past but are still causing you difficulties today. It offers a safe and dependable space in which you can be listened to and valued, whilst attempting to find more helpful ways of managing.
We offer respectful, warm and accepting engagement, whilst also being willing to constructively challenge perhaps less helpful behaviours and beliefs. We aim to bring a human, down to earth approach to the work, whilst maintaining appropriate professional boundaries. Our aim is to work as transparently as the counselling role allows, fostering personal responsibility and accountability.
“To care of another individual means to know and to experience the other as fully as possible.”
— Irving D. Yalom
The power of a
watershed moment
A watershed moment can often help us understand things better, uncover our potential and open ourselves up to new possibilities.
