About Angela
Angela Neary helps people who are struggling with addictions, anxiety, depression, relationship problems and trauma. She also supports concerns such as low self-esteem, grief, eating issues, parenting stress and career worry. Angela brings two decades of experience to her work and speaks English.
Her style is warm, open and interactive. Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters to the person in front of her. She listens closely and encourages people to find their own answers rather than imposing ready-made labels.
How Angela works
Angela trained as a person-centred counsellor and holds BACP registration. Over twenty years she has combined this approach with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to create practical plans tailored to each person. That mix aims to address immediate problems and underlying patterns.
In the room she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, practise new ways of responding, and develop coping strategies for tough moments. She also explores how past experiences may influence current relationships and choices. Her experience includes working alongside social care and social work teams on mental health improvement projects.
That background informs a practical approach to everyday problems - from managing stress to navigating major life changes. People who want straightforward, respectful support will find sessions that focus on clarity and steady progress. If someone decides to start, Angela guides them through simple steps to begin therapy and set realistic goals together.

How Angela's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist offers empathy and acceptance so people can explore their feelings and find their own solutions, which helps with self-esteem, grief and relationship struggles.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits, which is useful for anxiety, depression and stress.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These practices can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when someone needs calmer ways to respond to triggers.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Angela will talk through goals, preferences and the issues at hand, then suggest which methods to try first. The plan can change over time as progress is reviewed together.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more convenient. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options help people fit therapy around work, parenting and other commitments.
