Angela Garlick

Angela Garlick is a BACP-registered counsellor who helps people carry difficult feelings more lightly. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can say what matters to them and start to make changes. Angela aims to make first steps less daunting and supports people through stressful moments and big life adjustments.

She works with stress, anxiety and low mood, and helps people who are dealing with grief, trauma and relationship strain. Eating and food-related issues are among the areas she lists. Angela also supports people facing career pressures, parenting strain, sleeping problems and compassion fatigue.

Her style is warm and person-centred, which means conversations are led by each person’s concerns and pace. She uses practical ideas from cognitive behavioural therapy alongside mindfulness and acceptance and commitment therapy to help with thoughts and unhelpful patterns.

Angela draws on psychodynamic thinking when helpful, looking at early patterns that affect how people relate to themselves and others. She treats clients with respect and sensitivity and works collaboratively to set goals that feel realistic.

With four years of professional experience, she aims to make sessions clear and straightforward. People can expect a steady, respectful approach that focuses on small, practical changes as well as understanding deeper patterns.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Angela uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, and to take small steps towards what matters to them. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours with practical, step-by-step strategies. CBT commonly helps with stress, sleeping problems and anxiety symptoms.

Finding the right approach is usually a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt those approaches over time.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking as the biography does not list formats. Online appointments can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by reducing travel and allowing sessions during work breaks or from quieter locations. Some formats can also be shorter or use audio only, which can suit people who prefer less screen time. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists will work with you to make sessions practical and focused on everyday change.
