Angelica Newby

My approach is grounded in person-centred pluralistic counselling, which means I meet you where you are, listening deeply and adapting the work to suit your unique preferences and needs. This might include reflective dialogue, mindfulness practices, mindful self-compassion and other supportive elements chosen collaboratively. I offer a safe, non-judgemental space where your experience can be explored with gentle curiosity and respect. I understand that not everyone arrives with a clear sense of what they need - and that's okay. Part of the therapeutic process is discovering that together, through exploration, attunement and openness. As someone who is neurodiverse, I bring an awareness of the difference and the many ways people experience the world, and I honour the whole person in the room rather than a set of symptoms. In therapy with me, you won't need to mask or perform - all parts of you are welcome.

I hold a BSc in Person-Centred Pluralistic Counselling from the Metanoia Institute and am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), practising within their ethical framework. I also hold a qualification in the facilitation of online and phone therapy, enabling me to offer safe, connected support in both face-to-face and remote settings. Before training as a counsellor, I spent over a decade working as an esthetician - a role that deepened my understanding of trust, safety, comfort and being truly seen. My practice continues to be shaped by ongoing development and compassionate curiosity.
