About Angela

Angela Neild is a counsellor with twenty years' experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and a wide range of life challenges. She works with clients who are struggling with relationships, addiction, grief, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues and many practical problems that get in the way of day-to-day living. Angela describes her work as adaptable to each person's situation and needs.

She combines straightforward listening with active ways to work through problems. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on steps they can try between meetings. Her background includes a PG Diploma in Advanced Counselling and Psychotherapy and a postgraduate certificate in counselling supervision, plus a BA (Hons) in Abuse Studies. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, noted as BACP.

Angela draws on several approaches rather than a single method. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships affect feelings, client-centred listening to follow the client's priorities, and cognitive behavioural tools when thoughts and behaviours need practical work. Emotionally-Focused and existential ideas also inform longer-term work.

Sessions are presented in a calm, non-judgemental way so people can speak honestly about hard topics. Angela keeps up with current research and adapts her approach over time. Her practice aims to help people notice small changes and build on them.

If someone wants to explore therapy they are invited to begin with a short questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the available times.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and expectations. Online sessions can use this approach to help people notice patterns in relationships, reactions to closeness or separation, and to practice making different choices in day-to-day interactions.

Client-centred counselling places the client's own priorities at the centre. In remote sessions this means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the person set their own goals and pace for change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and on practical exercises. Online work can include setting short experiments or home tasks, and reviewing progress together in follow-up sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with the client, try methods that suit their goals, and adapt plans if something is not helping. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to use and how quickly to move.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and avoiding travel time, which can make regular appointments easier to keep. Online work can also support shorter check-ins or focused, task-based meetings when that better fits daily life. Because session formats are not detailed in the biography, confirm available options before booking so you know what will work best for your situation.
