Angela Stone, BACP

Angela Stone works with people who are struggling with relationships, parenting, grief and major life changes. She supports those coping with low self esteem, career uncertainty, loneliness and practical pressures such as money or caregiving. Her approach aims to help people feel steadier and better able to manage day-to-day challenges.

Angela draws on 15 years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She believes people know their own stories and brings a respectful, down-to-earth stance to sessions. Conversations focus on what feels most useful and realistic for each person.

In practice she combines straightforward thinking tools with a look at how past patterns still affect the present. That means practical steps to change thinking and behaviour alongside gentle attention to earlier experiences that shape feelings. Sessions move at a pace set by the client and aim to build confidence and clearer choices.

Angela also works with issues linked to adoption and foster care, blended family concerns, divorce and separation, domestic violence and fatherhood matters. She offers support around communication problems, control issues, hoarding, isolation and finding a life purpose.

People who choose her can expect a calm, conversational style that focuses on small, achievable changes. The emphasis is on finding what helps in everyday life rather than on jargon or one-size-fits-all plans.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Angela uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood and practical problems where small changes in thinking lead to clearer results.

She also draws on Psychodynamic Therapy to look at how earlier relationships and experiences still influence current feelings. This approach helps when patterns repeat or when people want to understand the roots of their reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that feel manageable. Decisions about focus and pace are made collaboratively and can shift as needs change.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different places. It also offers flexible timing for shorter or longer sessions if that helps maintain progress.
