About Angela
Angela Neary is a counsellor with two decades of practical experience supporting people through depression and many other struggles. She uses a warm, person-focused style and listens with respect. Her manner is open and interactive, aiming to help people find their own answers rather than imposing labels.
She trained as a person-centred counsellor, graduating in 2005, and holds BACP accreditation. Since then she has worked both as a therapist and as a mental health improvement officer alongside social care and social work teams.
Background and approach
That work brought experience with adults across a wide age range and with varied life challenges. Angela blends person-centred care with cognitive-behavioural ideas and practical, solution-focused steps. Sessions tend to focus on what matters most to the person and on small, achievable changes.
She also draws on mindfulness and psychodynamic thinking when those ways of working help make sense of a situation. Common concerns she supports include anxiety, stress, addictions, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and coping with life transitions. Additional focus areas include issues such as attachment, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress.
Her approach is collaborative: she works with each person to create a plan that fits their needs and goals. People who prefer calm, respectful listening together with gentle practical tools often find this way of working helpful.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then tailor the method together with the person. This collaborative process means plans can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people keep visual contact and use exercises that benefit from face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit people who prefer writing, want brief reflections between sessions or need to fit support around a busy day. Many people appreciate being able to schedule sessions without travel and to choose the format that fits their routine.
