Tailored Living in the Community

Sometimes Life is difficult

Counselling can help you work through those struggles, past, present and looking to the future

Hello, I am Angela Neary (RMBACP, Pgdip), and I am here to support You

I provide a safe space with empathy, professionalism and kindness at it's heart - providing you TLC, before you can go on to thrive.

My 20 years + counselling experience has developed my listening skills, taught me a spectrum of supportive strategies but most importantly emphasised it is vital to keep YOU, the client, AT THE CENTRE of your therapy, to work on WHICHEVER AREAS OF LIFE you are struggling with.

But don't just take my word for it!

Please browse my 5* reviews below, and from the last 2 years (before I started my own business): www.betterhelp.com/angela-neary/#professional-experience

_______________

I am a BACP registered Integrative Counsellor,

I graduated from Strathclyde University, Glasgow, Scotland in 2005 with a Post-Grad Diploma in Person Centred Counselling and Theory after extensive studies in Integrative Counselling Skills and Theory.

How does a counselling session work?

I connect to clients via WhatsApp video call, Facetime, Skype, Zoom or Teams - whichever is easiest for you.

This allows you to have your counselling session in the comfort of your own home or in a safe, quiet space of their choosing such as your car, wherever you are in the world.

Sessions begin, once you feel ready, sharing how you are feeling. This begins the conversation and can continue for how long you have thoughts to share. It is important for you to have the opportunity to share all that is on your mind so your thoughts are validated. From here, I will guide you to take a fresh look at your situation, being less harsh on yourself. This can be really helpful to see how you've stopped treating yourself with the kindness you deserve. It is only once this stage is complete, we can discuss how to go forward from here. This can include how to set boundaries with others, and how to take proactive action over the controllables in your life. Many clients report feeling empowered and excited for the future at this stage!

Why should you choose me as your therapist?

I am able to draw on 20 years of experience helping people from a wide range of ages, socio-economic and health backgrounds, all over the world.

I offer a non judgemental attitude with strong empathy. My clients report they quickly feel comfortable and I provide a safe space, which is something I strive to create.

To further ensure I'm best equipped to stand alongside my own clients needs, I have my own therapy every week to support my own mental health.

I also have "safe practitioner" supervision monthly.

What do I love most about my job?

Firstly helping them to realise they can manage whatever is going on in their lives.

Normally when I first see a client they can be in a dark place, and it's important to provide a listening ear so their needs are understood and validated.

I love then seeing the growth in a person, usually in a very short space of time.

And ultimately finding their own voice!

When a person has a space to talk, be heard, and understood, it's amazing the transformation they can make.

What inspired me to start my own business?

My own business allows me to be more flexible to clients needs, rather than following a prescribed routine on how the counselling session is run. Each peron I work with is an individual, and what works for one person is different to the next.

It also allows me to set my own schedule, allowing for my own work/life routine to be optimised, so I am refreshed and ready to work.

Issues of particular experience:

Anxiety inc. health anxiety, self esteem issues
Depression inc. suicidal thoughts
Relationship issues
Trauma inc. emotional & physical abuse
Addiction
Anger
Bereavement
LGBTQIA+
Menopause
Body-focused repetitive behaviours
Overwhelm from one or several of the above

And many more. If you feel you need help for another issue, please feel free to contact me to discuss my experience in the area.

Angela has been an amazing help in dealing with some difficult times. From our very first session, it was clear that Angela is not just a therapist; she is a beacon of support and understanding. In my dealings with Angela, I have felt an immense sense of comfort. It's evident that she genuinely cares about her clients, making it easy to open up about even the most challenging issues. What sets Angela apart is her exceptional active listening skills. She has an innate ability to hear not just the words but the emotions behind them. She can then skilfully guide conversations, helping to uncover deeper issues while providing support and validation. Angela continually challenges me, and I can’t thank her enough for everything she has done for me so far.

I can't say enough good things about Angela. She helped me navigate a really tough time, and I always felt comfortable opening up to her. Angela has this warm, non-judgmental approach that made it easy to talk and reflect. Each session felt like it was tailored to what I needed that day, and she offered practical tools and insights that genuinely made a difference. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive and skilled therapist.

Angela's empathetic listening and encouraging manner create a safe space for me to openly discuss my life topics. Thanks to her support, I feel empowered and capable of integrating the strategies we’ve developed into my daily life. Her dedication and genuine interest in my well-being make her an essential support in my life, especially during challenging times. I highly recommend working with her.

Vanessa Fowler

I can not recommend Angela highly enough. She strikes the perfect balance of compassion and humor but she is not afraid of asking powerful questions that will challenge you to explore your thoughts and feelings deeply. From our first session Angela created a safe and welcoming space that allowed me to open up. Angela's insightful guidance and practical coping strategies have truly transformed my approach to life’s challenges. If you’re looking for a therapist who offers genuine support with a refreshing sense of humour then Angela is the one to see!

Angela is an amazing therapist. She brings such a safe space to talk about anything and always ends my sessions feeling better than I came in. Ive been with her for 2 and a half years and will continue to be with her, no other therapist has lived up to her!
