Angela Leoni, BACP

Angela Leoni is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has three years of professional experience and supports people through stressful and changing times. Angela focuses on practical, conversational work that helps clients make sense of difficult feelings and situations.

She aims to treat everyone with respect and sensitivity. Sessions are shaped around what each person brings, and she adapts the pace to suit individual needs. Many people come for help with anxiety, low mood, grief, relationship worries or rebound effects after major life changes.

In the room she keeps the approach straightforward and down-to-earth. She listens first, then works with clients to identify small steps that can ease immediate pressure. Techniques include talking through patterns, trying short experiments between sessions, and using mindfulness to reduce overwhelming thoughts.

Angela also supports people dealing with trauma, abuse, sleep problems, addiction concerns and workplace strain. She can help with identity questions such as LGBT issues, as well as parenting stresses and caregiving burden. Her work includes attention to attachment and abandonment concerns when these arise.

Clients can expect a collaborative process that blends gentle challenge with practical coping strategies. The focus is on helping people regain steadiness and make clearer choices during times of upheaval or uncertainty.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. It helps when someone needs a space to make sense of feelings and decide their next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; this can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that suit the person’s situation and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session arrangements are not listed in the biography, so confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue therapy from a different region or country when that is needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these options, and the focus is on finding a practical way to make therapy part of everyday life.
