About Angela
Angela Garlick is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship difficulties. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through painful thoughts and feelings. Angela holds BACP accreditation and has four years of professional experience working with emotional and mental health concerns.
Her style is person-centred and practical. She listens first, then helps clients identify helpful steps they can try between sessions. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual, whether that is managing panic, improving sleep, or coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Angela draws on a mix of approaches depending on need. She uses elements of cognitive behavioural work to spot unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to support values-based action, and mindfulness techniques to calm the mind. She also uses psychodynamic perspectives to look at longer-standing patterns when that feels useful.
People meet her in a compassionate, respectful way. She aims to build a working relationship that feels safe and practical. Conversations are straightforward and focused on small, manageable changes.
Sessions may include talking, guided exercises, and techniques to use between appointments. Angela supports people coping with trauma and abuse, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, caregiver stress, ADHD-related challenges, bereavement and many life transitions. She works with each person to tailor an approach that fits their situation.
How these approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can support those facing anxiety, grief, or major life changes by focusing on what matters rather than on getting rid of difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical exercises to reduce symptoms like panic, worry or sleep problems. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the person’s pace and goals guide the work.Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together with the therapist. Angela will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as therapy progresses. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions relevant and grounded in everyday life.
Online work can make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people see facial cues and work through exercises in real time. Phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, journalling-style reflections or people who prefer written communication. These options help fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while using the approaches above to tackle anxiety, stress and related concerns.
