About Us
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.
Angela and Larry both have over thirty years of experience across counselling, coaching and professional development — working with individuals, couples and organisations who want more from their lives and their people.
For organisations, they deliver meaningful development programmes that create real, lasting change — and a return on investment that goes far beyond the balance sheet.
For individuals, they offer something equally valuable — a safe, confidential space where talking therapy can help with some of life’s most difficult challenges. Trauma. Depression. Anxiety. Harmful behaviours. The things that are hard to say out loud, and even harder to face alone.
Whatever brings you to The Way Consulting — 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. Angela and Larry help people see them clearly, challenge them honestly, and move forward with greater balance, confidence and purpose.
“ 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
