About Angela
Angela Neary is a counsellor with more than 20 years' experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction and trauma. She works with people facing grief, parenting pressures, low self-esteem and intimacy concerns, and she also supports issues such as career stress and coping with major life changes. Angela holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to guide a respectful, person-centred way of working.
Her style is open, warm and interactive. Sessions focus on listening first and helping people find their own solutions. She aims to treat everyone with respect and avoids labels that feel limiting. Angela combines person-centred values with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work.
In practice she builds a plan that matches each person's needs. That might include looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, learning small skills to manage stress, or talking through past experiences that still cause pain. Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas can also appear when they fit the situation.
Angela has worked alongside social care and social work teams and has supported people aged from 18 to 100 in community settings. Her experience includes helping people with abuse, addictions, eating or body-image concerns, chronic illness and carer strain. She aims to meet people where they are and walk alongside them through change.
She invites people who are ready to take a step forward to begin with a short matching process. This helps clarify goals and find a practical way to move ahead together.

How Angela uses different approaches online
Angela draws on client-centred work which puts the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. This involves listening closely, reflecting what’s said and helping people explore their own solutions, which can suit people coping with loss, relationship strain or low self-esteem.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, a practical approach that looks at thoughts and behaviours. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches simple skills to manage anxiety, mood and stress in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and will adapt methods collaboratively over time. Angela aims to build a plan that matches each person’s needs rather than applying one fixed method.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins if that suits someone’s schedule. Many people find that remote sessions allow continuity of care when routines change, and Angela will discuss practical arrangements to fit therapy into everyday life.
