Angela Garlick, BACP

Angela Garlick is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and trauma. She works with clients who struggle with low mood, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem and life transitions. Angela also supports people managing ADHD, bipolar-related challenges, parenting strain and compassion fatigue.

Her approach is gentle and person-centred. She offers a non-judgemental space where people can talk through hard thoughts and feelings. Angela believes being heard often eases the emotional weight that holds people back.

Sessions focus on what matters to each person. Angela draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice patterns and try practical changes. She also uses mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas to look at feeling patterns and personal history.

Angela has four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She aims to be respectful, sensitive and compassionate in the working relationship.

People who meet with Angela can expect a steady, collaborative process. She will work with clients to set goals and review progress over time. If you are thinking about starting, the first step is simply to make contact and complete the brief intake steps to arrange a meeting.

How different approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in unwanted feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre, offering empathic, non-judgemental listening to help people feel heard and understood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what fits best with a person's goals, needs and preferences. That may include trying different techniques and reviewing what feels most helpful over time.

Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises or homework tasks between sessions to support steady progress.
