Angela Diac , BACP, NCPS

Angela Diac is a UK-licensed psychotherapist with 12 years of clinical experience, supporting people through anxiety, stress, depression, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties and major life transitions. She draws on a broad training that includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, psychodynamic and existential perspectives, while keeping a person-centred approach at the heart of her work. This means she focuses on understanding each person as an individual and meeting them where they are, then introducing practical skills and new ways of thinking as needed.

Angela has particular experience working with expat-related challenges - such as cultural adjustment, loneliness, and questions about whether to stay or return home - and she helps clients explore their needs, values and goals during periods of change. Clients often seek her out for a gentle, easy-to-connect-with presence and an understanding of the practical and emotional strains of relocating or adapting to a new culture.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including relationship and family issues, parenting, intimacy, self-esteem, bereavement and trauma. Angela holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which indicate recognised professional training and membership of counselling organisations. She works in English and Romanian and applies evidence-based techniques alongside empathic listening to support clients through pain, anger, sadness, relief, guilt and fear.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Angela uses a person-centred approach as the foundation of her work, prioritising empathy, acceptance and a compassionate stance to help clients feel understood and supported while they explore change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, stress and mood concerns. Psychodynamic and existential perspectives offer space to explore deeper patterns, personal meaning and how past experiences shape current relationships and emotional responses, which can be useful for grief, trauma and long-standing relational issues.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Angela works with clients to clarify needs, goals and preferences and to adjust techniques over time so that therapy remains relevant and effective for each person.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives. These options allow clients to access support from home or while travelling, reduce commuting time and offer different formats for sharing and reflecting, helping people stay consistent with their care even when schedules are constrained.
