Angela Leoni
Compassionate counsellor focusing on practical change
About Angela
Angela Leoni trained as a counsellor and holds BACP registration. She has three years of professional experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood difficulties, addictive behaviours and relationship concerns. Angela presents herself as warm and non-judgemental and aims to make the first step easier for anyone feeling overwhelmed.
She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs. Sessions give people room to lead the discussion, name what matters to them, and work at a pace that suits them.
Background and approach
Practical skills and reflective conversation are used alongside listening to make sense of difficult moments. Angela draws on client-centred work to focus on what the person wants from therapy. She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to identify patterns that maintain distress and to try small changes that can make daily life easier.
Mindfulness and existential perspectives also appear in her practice to help people find meaning and present-moment relief. People come for help with many issues including grief, low self-esteem, sleep problems, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD challenges, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people managing long-term health conditions, chronic pain and the emotional impact of cancer.
Angela works online with video, phone, live chat and text messaging. Her approach is collaborative - she helps people set goals and reviews progress together. The aim is to help people feel steadier and more able to cope with life changes.

Sessions & fees
Approaches you may meet in online counselling
Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what the person brings to the room, helping them clarify goals and priorities. This approach is useful for people who want to be heard and to shape their own journey.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people spot patterns that keep problems going and tests small changes to reduce anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits. This method is practical and often used when someone wants clear steps to try between sessions.
Mindfulness work teaches simple attention practices to reduce stress and improve focus. It can help with sleep problems, racing thoughts and coping with difficult feelings by building steady, moment-to-moment noticing skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angela will discuss options with each person and tailor methods to their goals, preferences and day-to-day life. The choice happens together and can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is close to an in-person conversation and suits fuller sessions. Phone can be a good lower-bandwidth option or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief reflections, ongoing support between sessions or when someone prefers writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring duties and travel.
