About Angela
Angela Neary is a counsellor with twenty years' experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, relationship strain and addictions. She works in a warm, open way and aims to treat each person with respect and understanding. Angela keeps sessions straightforward and collaborative to help people find their own answers and move forward.
Her background is in person-centred counselling, and she has worked alongside social care and social work teams. That experience included community mental health improvement work with adults across a wide age range.
Background and approach
She draws on this practical experience when planning therapy with people. Angela blends approaches to match what each person needs. She uses client-centred listening, cognitive-behavioural tools and solution-focused ideas to address symptoms and everyday problems.
Mindfulness techniques are used when helpful to manage stress and anxious thinking. Her style is interactive rather than didactic. Sessions often involve talking things through, noticing patterns, and practising simple strategies between appointments.
Angela aims to avoid labels and to focus on what helps someone now. People commonly bring issues such as trauma, grief, self-esteem, eating concerns, parenting stress, bereavement, sexuality-related worries and long-term health challenges. Angela helps people tackle practical problems and emotional pain while building coping strategies and clearer goals.
How Angela’s approaches translate to online therapy
Angela uses client-centred counselling and cognitive-behavioural therapy as core tools. Client-centred counselling means the counsellor listens closely, reflects back what matters and lets the person lead the pace. This approach helps when someone needs understanding and space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood problems and practical day-to-day issues.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Angela discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and adjusts methods as needed. People often mix listening-focused work with practical CBT exercises, and the plan changes as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see facial cues and work interactively. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter updates, reflection between sessions and people who prefer writing. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
