About Angela

Angela Neild works on anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, and a broad range of other concerns including grief, self-esteem and parenting. She adapts her way of working to each person and offers a non-judgemental space for people to talk more openly. Angela is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 20 years' experience.

She trained at postgraduate level with a PG Diploma in Advanced Counselling and Psychotherapy and a postgraduate certificate in counselling supervision. Angela also holds a BA (Hons) in Abuse Studies. Her background gives her experience with trauma and abuse, attachment issues and complex relational difficulties.

In sessions she combines several approaches to suit what an individual needs. She uses client-centred work to focus on the person in front of her, attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, and cognitive behavioural techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Angela also draws on emotionally-focused and existential ideas when the focus is on emotions or on life meaning and values. This mix can help with difficulties such as addiction, compulsive behaviours, eating and sleeping issues, and coping with major life changes.

She works with a wide range of concerns beyond the common areas already listed, including ADHD, compassion fatigue, adoption and foster care issues, body image, chronic illness and caring stress. Sessions are shaped around the practical goals and emotional concerns each person brings.

How Angela applies therapeutic approaches in online work

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how early connections can affect feelings and behaviour now; it can help with relationship difficulties, attachment issues and abandonment concerns. Client-centred counselling focuses on the person's experience in the room and on building understanding through reflective listening; this approach is useful when someone needs space to talk things through and be heard. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and uses practical strategies to try new ways of responding, which can help with anxiety, low mood and some addictive behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angela will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then agree how to proceed together. She adapts methods as the work develops so the chosen approach fits each person's needs.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow people to check in between commitments. Some formats also let a session be shorter or use audio only if that helps with bandwidth or a quieter set-up.
