About Angela

Angela Neild is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 20 years of practical experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, depression and addictions. Angela also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, parenting pressures and life changes.

Her way of working is straightforward and person-focused. She listens for emotional patterns and moments that keep causing pain. Angela uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-informed and client-centred ideas to help people name feelings and try new ways of responding.

Sessions are conversational and paced according to each person. Practical strategies from cognitive behavioural approaches are used when they fit, for example around sleep, eating and managing anxiety. Existential ideas come into play when people are facing major choices or questions about meaning.

Angela has a Postgraduate Diploma in Advanced Counselling and Psychotherapy and a Level 7 Postgraduate Certificate in Counselling Supervision. She also has a BA (Hons) in Abuse Studies. These qualifications inform her clinical practice and reflective supervision work.

She works with adults on a wide range of topics including ADHD, compassion fatigue, body image, chronic illness and bereavement. Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the person and to develop day-to-day ways of coping and relating that feel more manageable.

To begin, clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session so they can discuss goals and practical arrangements.

How her approaches translate to remote work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and attachment patterns. In short sessions she helps people identify moments when emotions drive repeated responses and practises new ways of connecting or responding. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings and behaviour, which can be useful for people struggling with intimacy, grief or abandonment themes.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and reflecting so the person can make sense of their own experience. It is useful when someone needs a steady, non-directive space to think through difficult choices or coping strategies. Angela uses these approaches together and will help decide which elements suit a person best in collaboration with the client.

Many people find online sessions help fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel. Confirm the exact session options before booking so you know what is offered. Practical benefits include easier scheduling around a busy day, the option of shorter check-ins when needed, and not needing to travel to appointments. The therapist will discuss format and timing in the first meeting to match the approach to the client’s goals and day-to-day life.
