About Angela

Angela Farrelly, BACP, is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. Her way of working is straightforward and practical. She encourages clients to notice patterns that make things harder and to try different responses.

She sees therapy as collaborative and respects each person's knowledge of their own life. Sessions focus on building small, doable skills that reduce unhelpful thoughts and habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches she uses to help people test beliefs and change behaviour.

Angela also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centred methods to support values-based choices and clearer communication. These approaches help when someone is stuck deciding what matters most or feels overwhelmed by strong emotions.

Her background emphasises practical tools over long explanations. She works at a steady pace and checks in about what is or is not helpful. People who prefer concrete strategies and short-term goals may find this style easy to follow.

Sessions are conducted in English. Angela asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before the first meeting so she can understand current needs and plan the first session. To start, clients use the site matching steps to schedule an initial appointment.

Her BACP credential indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

How CBT, ACT and attachment work online

Angela uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. CBT breaks problems into clear steps - thoughts, feelings and actions - so small changes become possible. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and build actions that match those values even when emotions are difficult. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current responses, which can help with trust and communication.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Angela treats this as a joint process. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels workable, then agree on a direction and check progress as therapy continues.

The therapist's original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel by removing journey time and allowing for shorter or more frequent check-ins when useful. They can also reduce the need to be on camera if that helps someone stay focused. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods to suit video or phone meetings, and Angela will help match practical arrangements to the aims of therapy.
