Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script. Over 22 years Angela has supported people through grief, career crossroads and issues around intimacy and parenting strain. She also addresses problems such as anger, low self‑esteem, body image concerns and difficulties linked to attachment or abandonment feelings.

Her work includes helping with ADHD related challenges and mood difficulties. Angela draws on a mix of therapy styles to suit each person. She blends approaches that examine relationship patterns, explore emotions, and offer practical thinking tools.

The result is a plan that is tailored to a client's goals and day-to-day life. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, chat or messaging. Angela is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and works with people in the United Kingdom.

How Angela’s approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape present feelings and reactions, helping people notice and change unhelpful connection habits. Client-centred practice gives space for a person to be heard and to lead the pace and topics of sessions, which can help build confidence and clarity. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying upsetting thought patterns and testing new behaviours, useful for anxiety, low mood and panic.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques and adapt the plan as progress is made. This is a collaborative conversation that aims to match style to need rather than imposing a single method.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video calls allow a face-to-face feel, phone work can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, short text messages suit quick check-ins, and live chat can be useful for paced conversations. These options increase flexibility for people balancing work, family and travel.
