Angela Neary , BACP

Angela Neary is a person-centred counsellor with over 20 years of experience working as a therapist and a mental health improvement officer. She qualified as a person-centred counsellor in 2005 and has since worked alongside Social Care and Social Work teams to support mental health improvement across community settings, working with clients aged from 18 to 100.

Her practice has included support for a broad range of concerns such as addiction, trauma and domestic abuse, depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. Angela blends a warm, open and interactive style with practical therapeutic methods, combining cognitive-behavioural techniques with person-centred principles to shape treatment plans that respond to each person’s particular needs.

She believes in meeting people with respect and understanding rather than fitting them into labels, and she brings a passion for listening and helping clients discover their own solutions. Angela accompanies people through the challenges they face, supporting growth and self-awareness as they work toward their goals. She holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognised professional body in the United Kingdom - and is currently not accepting new clients.

Approaches that guide online support and healing

Angela uses client-centred therapy to create a respectful and non-judgemental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach helps people who need empathy, validation, and support in exploring personal values and relational patterns.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and developing practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and stress. CBT is well suited to addressing patterns that maintain distress and building new coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Angela works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will review progress and adapt methods over time so the work remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or other commitments, and they enable ongoing support from licensed professionals and therapists without requiring travel.
