Background and approach

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP. In sessions she combines body-focused work with talking therapies. Somatic techniques help people notice how stress shows up in the body.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thoughts and practical changes. Client-Centred and Emotionally-Focused ideas shape how she builds a steady, accepting relationship in the room. Angela helps people work through trauma, family conflicts, parenting pressures, eating and intimacy-related worries, mood changes and challenges linked to ADHD.

She also supports those dealing with abandonment, codependency, substance misuse and feelings of guilt or isolation. Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative. She listens for what matters most to each person and then shapes sessions around their goals.

Practical tools and short experiments are used alongside reflective conversation. Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then book a session time that suits them.

How somatic and talking therapies work online

Angela uses somatic approaches alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred work. Somatic Therapy helps people notice sensations in the body and how stress shows up physically; it can be useful for trauma, anxiety and addiction recovery. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural experiments to change how life feels. Client-Centred work puts the relationship first, offering acceptance and a steady space to talk.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Angela will collaborate with each person to decide what feels most helpful, trying methods for a few sessions and adjusting as goals and needs become clearer. This makes the work feel practical and tailored rather than fixed.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions can be simpler for those on the move. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer shorter, more frequent contact or who find writing easier than speaking. These options let people access body-focused and talking therapies from home and schedule support around work, childcare and daily routines.
