About Angela

Angela Leoni is a counsellor registered with the BACP with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and parenting challenges. She also supports people facing grief, issues around intimacy, sleeping problems, addiction concerns, and career or life changes.

Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions focus on what the person brings to the room and on clarifying the problems that cause the most strain at home. Angela uses a mix of talking therapies and techniques to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. Sessions tend to be guided by the client's immediate concerns rather than a rigid protocol.

She draws on client-centred methods to keep the person's goals central. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to break unhelpful thinking and behaviour cycles. Mindfulness ideas are offered to help with stress and regulation when that is useful.

Angela also works from existential ideas when people face big questions about meaning, loss or identity. She has experience helping people affected by adoption and foster care issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, neurodiversity-related difficulties, and caring responsibilities. Her practice includes support for LGBT related matters and compassion fatigue in caregiving roles.

Practical steps are emphasised in sessions. Conversations often include checking small changes between meetings and adjusting the plan as needed. To arrange an initial match and session, follow the site's booking flow and complete the brief questionnaire provided.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Angela commonly uses client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural therapy in her work. Client-centred work focuses on what matters most to the person and uses open conversation to identify goals and priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy involves noticing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and practising small changes to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

She may also draw on mindfulness ideas to help with stress regulation and on existential perspectives when people are facing questions of meaning or loss. Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist and client work together to decide which methods suit the person's goals, preferences and the practical issues they bring to sessions.

The practical benefits of online therapy include being able to book sessions that fit around work and family commitments, saving travel time and keeping continuity if circumstances change. Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options during the booking process. Registered or accredited professionals will explain the format options and help plan a schedule that fits everyday life without promising a particular service.
