About Angela
Angela Leoni is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, depression and a range of other concerns. Angela also supports those dealing with addiction, ADHD, career changes and the pressures that come with major life transitions.
She uses a conversational, client-led style. Sessions focus on what the person brings in that day, with room to explore patterns, feelings and practical steps. Angela aims to create a straightforward environment where someone can talk through painful experiences and find clearer ways to cope.
Her approach draws from client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural ideas. That means listening first, then examining thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. She also uses existential perspectives to help people make sense of choices and values when life feels uncertain.
Angela has worked with people affected by adoption and foster care issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and major illness, and with those navigating caregiving stress. She also supports clients dealing with communication and control problems, codependency, and recovery from abuse.
Sessions are practical and paced to the individual. People can expect straightforward conversation, reflection and small experiments to try between meetings. To begin, clients follow the site's booking flow and schedule an initial session after a short matching questionnaire.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves open listening and reflecting back what is said to help someone clarify their own thoughts and feelings. This approach suits people who need to be heard and want to lead the direction of sessions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses clear tools and small experiments to test unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems where specific patterns keep problems going.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angela will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to the person’s goals and preferences. That conversation is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make fitting sessions into study, work and life easier. It can allow shorter check-ins, save travel time and make it simpler to schedule around shifts or classes. Registered or accredited professionals can also suggest how to structure sessions so they fit into a busy routine without taking up a whole day.
