About Angela
Angela Neary is a BACP counsellor with 20 years of experience supporting people through addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety and relationship strain. She offers a warm, person-centred way of working that aims to help people feel heard and respected. Her approach is practical and conversational, focused on what matters to each person.
Angela trained as a person-centred counsellor, graduating in 2005, and has worked alongside social care and social work teams since then. She has supported adults across a wide age range and in community settings, helping with issues from grief and self-esteem to caring responsibilities and chronic health concerns. Her background includes roles as a therapist and as a mental health improvement officer.
In sessions she combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused strategies. This means she listens first, helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and works with them to try practical changes that fit their life. She also uses mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas where these suit a person’s needs.
Angela describes her style as open, warm and interactive. She aims to treat people with the same respect she would expect, and avoids labelling. The focus is on finding each person’s own answers and building a plan tailored to their situation.
If someone is ready to tackle a difficulty, Angela offers supportive, collaborative work to help them move forward. Prospective clients can expect straightforward conversation, practical tools and steady encouragement as they work through challenges.
How Angela's approaches work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on genuine listening and acceptance. The counsellor follows the person's lead, helping them feel understood and guiding them to find their own solutions. This approach suits people who want a compassionate space to work through emotions and life changes.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps people spot and change thinking patterns and behaviours that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to test different ways of thinking, which can help with anxiety, depression and stress-related difficulties.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Angela will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. She adapts plans as work progresses so the approach fits the person's needs rather than forcing a single method.
If you are considering online work, check the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up conversations without rearranging a whole day. They can also suit shorter check-ins or quieter conversations when that matches someone’s routine. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which format will work best when you schedule your first appointment.
