Angela Stone, BACP

Angela Stone is a UK-licensed therapist with 15 years of professional experience supporting people through relationship challenges, parenting difficulties, grief, career questions, and major life changes. She holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development.

Angela approaches therapy with the view that each person is the expert of their own story, bringing strengths that can be mobilized alongside an honest acceptance of limitations. She works collaboratively to help clients build confidence, improve connection with others, and find practical ways to cope when anxiety, loneliness, low self-esteem, or past trauma feel overwhelming. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including relationship and family dynamics, parenting and fatherhood issues, adoption and foster care matters, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and communication or control problems.

Angela also supports those navigating divorce and separation, domestic violence recovery, feelings of emptiness or isolation, hoarding, financial stress, and the search for life purpose. With a person-centered stance, she aims to create a steady, respectful space where clients can explore change, build resilience, and move toward a more fulfilling life.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online support

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is a practical, goal-oriented approach often used for anxiety, low mood, confidence issues, and coping with life transitions. Psychodynamic Therapy explores the patterns and emotions that stem from past relationships and experiences to increase self-understanding and reduce recurring difficulties; it can be helpful for addressing long-standing relational patterns, feelings of emptiness, and unresolved grief. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on current strengths and small, achievable steps toward clients' goals, making it useful for clients seeking targeted change in areas like parenting, communication, or managing immediate stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Angela collaborates with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and together they determine which methods or combination of approaches fit best. This collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to what will be most helpful for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to access licensed professionals from different locations and at times that suit their schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
