About Angela
Angela Neary is a counsellor with 20 years' experience supporting people through issues like anxiety, depression, addiction and relationship strain. She works with parents on the pressures of caring and the emotional challenges that come with parenting. Her style is warm and conversational, centred on listening and helping people find practical steps forward.
She trained as a person-centred counsellor and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Background and approach
Over two decades she has worked alongside social care teams and mental health services in the community, gaining broad experience with adults across the lifespan. That background informs a grounded, down-to-earth way of working. Sessions are collaborative.
Angela combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused ideas. She uses mindfulness and psychodynamic thinking when helpful to explore patterns and bring greater self-awareness. Plans are tailored to each person’s situation rather than following a fixed script.
In practice she aims for clear, practical sessions. People can expect to talk through their concerns, try small experiments between meetings, and review what is useful. The focus is on building skills to manage stress, improve mood, and strengthen important relationships.
Angela values respect, warmth and straightforward language. She encourages anyone who is ready to make changes to take a first step, and she will work alongside them to clarify goals and find workable ways forward.

How Angela’s approaches work online
Angela blends client-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy to help people tackle daily problems and long-standing patterns. Client-centred work focuses on listening, empathy and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and can discover their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and offers straightforward tools to change them, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Angela will discuss goals and preferences, and then suggest a mix of methods that fits the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when internet quality varies, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments while keeping the same therapeutic focus and continuity.
