Angela Garlick helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She is a BACP-registered counsellor with four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Her first aim is to offer a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can speak openly about what is worrying them.

She listens with respect and sensitivity, and treats each person as an individual. Sessions are shaped around a person's current needs and what they hope to change.

Background and approach

Angela encourages honest conversation and works at a pace that suits each client. Her approach draws on several proven methods, including acceptance and commitment practice, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and client-centred listening. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns that repeat in their lives.

These methods are used in straightforward ways to help manage symptoms and improve day-to-day coping. Angela has supported people with a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety and grief. These include sleeping problems, parenting stress, anger, low self-esteem, career questions, bipolar matters, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment, body image, caregiver stress, cancer-related worries and divorce or separation. Her sessions focus on practical steps and clearer understanding. The aim is to leave people with tools to handle difficult moments, clearer choices, and a steadier sense of themselves as they move forward.

Therapeutic approaches you can try online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice painful thoughts and feelings without fighting them, and to focus on actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns, which often helps with worry, low mood and sleep problems. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, offering empathic listening and support so people can find their own solutions and build self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work collaboratively to choose what fits best. This is a shared effort - goals, preferences and how someone responds guide the methods used. Adjustments can be made as sessions progress so the approach stays useful and relevant.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging gives practical flexibility. Video calls are useful when face-to-face style interaction matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit quick updates, regular check-ins, or when writing feels more comfortable. Registered or accredited professionals can offer effective support through these formats, making it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or other commitments.
