About Angela
Angela Garlick is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures and family concerns. Angela also works with people managing sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, bipolar, ADHD and major life changes.
Her style is person-centred. Sessions start with listening to what matters most to the individual. She encourages honest, judgement-free conversation to relieve emotional weight and to clarify immediate priorities.
Angela draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person. She may use cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to focus on values, and mindfulness practices to ease agitation. Her training in psychodynamic and trauma-focused ways of working informs how she thinks about past experiences and patterns.
People who come for support can expect straightforward, steady work on day-to-day problems. That might include practical steps for sleeping better, strategies for coping with anger, or talking through complicated family feelings. Sessions aim to make difficult choices feel more manageable and to reduce the pressure of daily demands.
To begin, she asks people to complete a brief online matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary by location.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice unhelpful thoughts and to commit to actions that reflect their values. It can help when someone wants to move through difficult emotions while still focusing on what matters day to day.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Online CBT often involves identifying patterns, testing unhelpful thoughts, and practicing new coping steps between sessions to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and concentration. These practices can be shared and practised together during sessions and then used between meetings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and will help decide which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. Many people find online counselling helps fit therapy into a busy routine - it can cut travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or make it easier to keep appointments when schedules shift. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and mindfulness practices so they work within a client’s day-to-day life.
