Angela Neary

Angela Neary is a BACP-registered counsellor with 20 years of practice supporting people through anger and many related concerns. She offers calm, down-to-earth conversations for those feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain or addiction. Her way of working is warm and interactive, and she aims to treat people with respect and understanding.

Angela trained as a person-centred counsellor in 2005 and has worked across community mental health roles. She has experience liaising with social care and social work teams and has supported adults across a wide age range. That background helps her bring practical knowledge of local services into therapy when it’s useful.

Her approach blends person-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. Sessions focus on helping people notice patterns, try manageable changes and build skills that ease daily pressure. Angela frames work around the individual rather than fitting someone into a label.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current feelings and relationships. Solution-focused elements are used to set short-term goals and track real progress. Throughout, Angela emphasizes listening first and then helping people find their own answers.

People who choose Angela can expect straightforward conversation, reflection and practical tools. She encourages small steps that feel possible and respects each person’s pace. To begin, clients follow the site's matching process and then schedule a session according to availability.

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Angela combines person-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions; it often suits anyone needing a compassionate space to talk. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anger, anxiety and depression. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Angela will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the session formats before booking as the biography does not specify exact options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use practices such as mindfulness at home between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals can help adapt exercises and tools so they work well in remote sessions.
