Angela Leoni, BACP

Angela Leoni is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom. She offers a calm, respectful approach and helps people who are facing difficult life moments. She encourages each person to lead the conversation while she listens and reflects. Angela focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, sleep problems and career pressures. Living with health challenges is one of the areas she addresses, including chronic pain, illness and caregiving strain. Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and priorities. Angela adapts her way of working so clients can talk about what matters most to them. She draws on a mix of practical and reflective approaches. That can include grounding mindful exercises, looking at thoughts and behaviours that get in the way, and exploring personal values and meaning. Conversations can be short-term or extend over a longer period, depending on what the person wants. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Angela aims to make that step easier. She supports people through change, whether they want help with coping strategies, clearer decisions, or simply a steady place to talk. The focus is on forward movement and better day-to-day coping.

How Angela integrates talking therapies online

Angela commonly draws on client-centred work that puts the person’s priorities first. This approach means the counsellor follows what matters to the client, reflects back what she hears and helps people find their own ways forward. It is useful for building trust, discussing emotional difficulties and making decisions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. CBT helps when anxiety, low mood, sleep or unhelpful habits are getting in the way, by giving practical steps to try between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Angela will work with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and may combine different ways of working as needs change. This is a collaborative conversation rather than a fixed plan.

For practical online arrangements, the original profile does not specify session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into busy days, remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life changes, while the counsellor and client agree how best to meet in each situation.
