Angela Diac , BACP, NCPS

Angela Diac is a counsellor with 12 years of professional experience who offers online short- and long-term support for stress, anxiety, depression and life transitions. She works with people facing grief, relationship difficulties, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. Angela speaks English and Romanian and practises from the United Kingdom.

She is experienced at helping those who feel stuck after major change. That includes people adjusting to life abroad who struggle with loneliness, identity and direction. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps as well as talking through difficult feelings.

Angela describes a client-led style. She listens first, then helps clients set goals and try small changes between sessions. The work often includes examining beliefs, practising coping skills and building self-acceptance.

Her background includes study in existential, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural approaches with a person-centred approach at the heart of her work. Angela aims to be genuine, empathetic and non-judgemental while walking alongside people at their pace.

People come to her for a wide range of problems beyond anxiety and depression. These include parenting concerns, family problems, body image and intimacy-related issues, grief and end-of-life matters, cultural and immigration-related stress, and difficulties tied to abandonment or attachment.

Angela holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging and does not take international clients outside the United Kingdom.

Approaches that guide online work and why they help

Angela draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice and test unhelpful thinking patterns and to practise small behaviour changes that reduce worry and low mood. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety and managing everyday symptoms.

She also uses psychodynamic and existential ideas to look at deeper life questions, patterns from the past and how meaning is made. These ways of working help when people feel stuck in repeating relationships, facing loss, or questioning identity and purpose.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide what fits best, based on their goals, needs and preferences. Plans can adapt as the work progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions are good for face-to-face conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging can work well for quicker exchanges, ongoing support between sessions or when writing helps someone process thoughts. These options make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel commitments.
