Angela Neary , BACP

Angela Neary is a person-centred counsellor with more than 20 years of experience working as a therapist and a mental health improvement officer. She graduated as a person-centred counsellor in 2005 and since then has collaborated with Social Care and Social Work departments to support mental health in the community. Her work has spanned a wide age range, supporting people from 18 to 100 years old, and has addressed concerns such as addiction, trauma, domestic abuse, depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties.

Her therapeutic style is open, warm, and interactive, grounded in a respect for each person as an individual rather than a label. She combines person-centred listening with cognitive-behavioural techniques so that treatment plans respond to a person’s unique needs and goals. Angela holds the BACP credential, indicating affiliation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she brings a steady focus on helping people find their own answers and ways forward through life’s challenges.

Angela values collaboration and genuine engagement, accompanying clients through change and supporting them as they learn more about themselves. She welcomes people who are ready to take steps toward addressing the challenges in their lives and offers compassionate, practical support as they move forward.

Approaches and Online Support Tailored to You

Angela draws primarily on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural methods, and she also uses mindfulness techniques where helpful. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on warm, non-directive listening that helps people explore their feelings and values; it suits those seeking acceptance and a supportive space to understand themselves. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, involves identifying patterns of thought and behaviour and learning practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and unhelpful coping styles. Mindfulness Therapy helps people cultivate present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, often assisting with stress, anxiety, and emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Angela works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and workable for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments. Angela provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that best matches their schedule and comfort. These options make therapy more accessible across distances and time zones while letting therapists and clients focus on meaningful, goal-oriented work together.
