Neidin Mooney, BACP

Neidin Mooney offers support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood, and life changes. She helps with relationship difficulties, parenting strain, grief, eating concerns, anger, and questions around identity including LGBT issues. She also works with ADHD and trauma and abuse. Neidin aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and understandable.

Neidin is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has practised since 2020 and describes her work as collaborative and tailored to each person. Sessions focus on what is causing distress now and on building everyday skills to feel steadier.

Her approach draws on cognitive behavioural techniques alongside client-centred and attachment-informed ideas. That mix lets her offer practical tools for day-to-day coping and also space to look at patterns from earlier relationships. She uses mindfulness and aspects of dialectical behaviour therapy where helpful to teach ground-level strategies for strong emotions.

Neidin has particular experience working with neurodiversity through previous roles supporting children and young people with autism and ADHD. That background influences how she adapts pace and communication to fit how someone thinks and processes emotions.

She gives shorter and longer appointment options and uses a flexible format so people can choose what suits them. The emphasis in sessions is on listening, building small workable changes, and helping people notice what helps them feel more in control.

How these approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can make it easier to talk about relationship patterns and to practise new ways of relating in real time. Client-centred work prioritises the person's experience and pace, with the counsellor offering empathy, reflection and an accepting stance rather than direction. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) gives clear, practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and small routines that feed stress and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor and client decide together which methods to try, tailoring choices to goals, coping style and what feels manageable. This collaborative process means techniques may change over time as needs shift.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking to know what is offered. Many people value online counselling because it can fit more easily into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it simpler to use written exercises, breathing practices or worksheets alongside talking. Registered or accredited professionals can help adapt exercises so online sessions feel practical and relevant to everyday life.
