About Angela

Angela Leoni is a BACP-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She supports people who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addiction and other life disruptions. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Her approach is person-focused and conversational. She listens to what matters to the client and follows their lead in sessions. Practical tools and reflective conversation are both used so people can try different ways of coping between meetings.

Angela uses a mix of talking therapies and practical strategies. This can include exploring thoughts and behaviours with cognitive behavioural techniques, paying attention to present-moment experience through mindfulness, and looking at relationship patterns that repeat. These tools are used to help with problems such as codependency, attachment worries, commitment issues, communication problems and coping after loss.

Clients often bring practical life problems such as parenting strain, career stress, sleeping difficulties or caregiving overload. Angela also works with people dealing with chronic illness, post-trauma responses, grief, or the strain of living around someone else’s moods or substance use. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps as well as making space to understand what has happened.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions are provided through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Confirm the current session options before booking to make sure they fit your routine.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the relationship in the room and on following the client’s lead. In practice this means the counsellor listens deeply, reflects back what she hears and helps the client clarify their own priorities and next steps. This approach suits people who need space to make sense of their feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour. Sessions often include short experiments, simple exercises and homework to test different ways of thinking. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, sleeping problems and unhelpful coping habits.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Angela will discuss options with the client and agree what to try based on their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can be revisited as things change.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so please confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy week, or useful when travel is difficult. Online work can make it simpler to check in between appointments, try brief problem-solving sessions, or use shorter appointments when needed. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to suit practical life constraints.
