About Angela
Counsellor Angela Garlick is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with four years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship difficulties and parenting concerns among other issues. Angela uses person-centred ways of working alongside recognised therapeutic approaches to help people talk things through.
She aims to listen without judgment and to respond with respect and sensitivity. Sessions usually focus on what the client is facing now and what they want to change or understand. Angela makes space for strong emotions and helps people find practical ways to cope with day-to-day demands.
Her practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic ideas, together with mindfulness and client-centred counselling. Those tools are used to look at thoughts, feelings and patterns that keep problems repeating. Some work may examine past experiences that are still affecting present behaviour.
People come for help with sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career stress, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related difficulties, among other concerns. She also supports those coping with bereavement, separation and life changes. Sessions aim to make overwhelming issues clearer and more manageable.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow usual professional standards set by her registering body. International clients are not currently accepted. Before booking, readers should check the current session options and how costs apply in their area. To start, the service asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying what matters to a person and taking small committed steps towards those values. It helps when worry, avoidance or low mood stop someone doing what matters to them.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It helps with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems by teaching practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns.
Mindfulness approaches are used alongside these methods to help people notice thoughts and feelings without immediately reacting. This can reduce rumination and help with stress and compassion fatigue.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angela will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life. It can also allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and reduce the need to take long breaks from a routine while you arrange care.
