About Angela
Angela Neary is a counsellor with more than 20 years' experience supporting people through issues such as addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She trained as a person-centred counsellor in 2005 and brings a warm, open approach to therapy. Angela aims to listen closely and help people find their own answers at a pace that suits them.
She has worked alongside social care and social work teams on community mental health improvement projects. That work exposed her to a wide range of life challenges, from ageing and chronic illness to parenting and bereavement. Angela writes treatment plans that reflect each person’s situation rather than using one-size-fits-all solutions.
Angela mixes person-centred ideas with cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused tools. In sessions she listens, asks practical questions and helps people try out new ways of thinking and coping. Mindfulness practices and psychodynamic thinking may also appear where they fit the goals being worked on.
Her style is interactive and respectful. She avoids labels and encourages people to explore feelings about identity, intimacy, body image and family roles. Angela also supports people dealing with grief, caring stress, career changes and long-term health conditions.
People who choose her often want straightforward, down-to-earth conversations and practical steps alongside emotional support. If someone decides to start therapy, Angela aims to work collaboratively to set realistic goals and review progress over time.

How her approaches work online and in conversation
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor offers empathy and acceptance so people can explore feelings and decide their own next steps. This approach helps when someone needs support to make sense of difficult experiences.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and how they affect each other. It involves practical techniques to test unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills, which can help with anxiety, depression and stress.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple exercises to notice the present moment and reduce reactivity. These practices can help with stress, anger and chronic pain by building calmer responses to difficult feelings.
Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods so they fit the person’s needs. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasise listening, practical skills or mindfulness techniques.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when that helps, and remove travel time. It also means people can choose quieter times and focus on therapy without rearranging their entire schedule.
