About Angela

Angela Neild is a counsellor who helps with stress, anxiety, depression and a wide range of life challenges. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addictions, parenting strains, and concerns linked to ADHD and bipolar. Angela uses plain talk to help people understand what they are feeling and find manageable steps forward.

She holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Advanced Counselling and Psychotherapy and a Postgraduate Certificate in Counselling Supervision, and also has a BA (Hons) in Abuse Studies. Angela brings 20 years of practice to her work and keeps up with current research to inform her approach.

In sessions she offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk openly. She adapts her style to each person rather than using a single method for everyone. That can mean focusing on emotions, patterns in relationships, or practical thought and behaviour strategies depending on need.

Angela draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings. She uses client-centred ways of working that prioritise what the person wants to explore. Cognitive behavioural techniques are available for people who want focused tools to manage anxiety, low mood or unhelpful thoughts.

Her work also covers areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care history, body image, chronic illness, codependency and issues connected to kink and alternative sexual culture. People looking for support are invited to describe their situation honestly so Angela can tailor the work to their goals.

How Angela's approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and expectations. In practice this means talking about patterns in relationships and noticing how those patterns show up now, which can help with intimacy, abandonment and attachment issues.

Client-Centred Therapy centres on the person's experience and choices. The counsellor follows the person's lead, offering empathy and reflective listening so people can make sense of their own situation and decide on next steps.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and coping with stress by teaching focused skills people can use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and collaborate on a plan that may draw on one or more approaches. That conversation helps decide whether to focus on emotional patterns, practical skills, or both.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. 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 someone choose a quieter time, avoid camera use if preferred, or use sessions around work or caregiving responsibilities. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss which arrangement best suits practical needs and therapeutic goals.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
