Get to a happier place

If you’ve landed here, something probably isn’t sitting right: stress that won’t lift, anxiety, low mood, or a sense that life could be better than this. You don’t have to work it out alone. Book a short call and we’ll talk through what you’re looking for and whether counselling with us is the right fit.

About Us

The Way Consulting

The Way Consulting was founded over twenty years ago by Angela Hackett and Larry Watson on a simple but quietly radical belief: that a personal and professional development company could be built on genuine enjoyment, integrity and care.

Twenty years on, that belief hasn’t wavered.

Between them, Angela and Larry bring more than sixty years of experience in counselling, coaching and professional development, working with individuals, couples and organisations who want more from their lives and their people.

For organisations, we design and deliver development programmes that people actually use once the workshop ends: leadership, resilience, communication and team development, shaped around your culture rather than lifted from a template. The return shows up in how your people work together, not just on the balance sheet.

For individuals and couples, we offer a safe, confidential space where talking therapy can help with life’s hardest challenges. Trauma. Depression. Anxiety. Relationship difficulties. Patterns of behaviour that keep causing harm. The things that are hard to say out loud, and even harder to face alone.

Whatever brings you here, you’ll find two people who genuinely care. Not just about the work. About you.

A unique approach

The beliefs we hold. The habits we keep. The behaviours we barely notice. These are the things that quietly shape our lives — for better or worse. We help you see them clearly, challenge them honestly, and move forward with greater balance, confidence and purpose. Recognising these patterns in yoursefl if often the hardest step. that’s where we begin, together.

 

I often think counselling was calling me long before I answered.

Perhaps I was always an old soul. Someone who noticed the weight people carried, who listened more than they spoke, who found themselves drawn to the harder conversations. But it took a period of significant loss and change in my own life to finally make me listen back.

I got to the books. I did the hard thinking. I trained as a psychodynamic counsellor — and I haven’t stopped learning since.

Over thirty years on, I remain as fascinated by the human condition as I was on the first day. It has been one of the great privileges of my life to walk alongside clients as they faced their struggles, opened doors and windows they hadn’t known were there — and stepped through them into something lighter.

But I also knew that counselling alone wasn’t the whole picture.

So many people spend a third of their lives at work — and yet feel unseen, undervalued or simply unfulfilled in that space. I wanted to change that. For individuals and for the organisations they belong to.

Because when people feel genuinely supported and valued in their development, something remarkable happens. They grow. Their organisations grow. The energy becomes contagious — and the results speak for themselves.

That’s the work I love. All of it.– Angela Hackett
