Angela Garlick, BACP

Angela Garlick is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and depression. She also supports those dealing with trauma, sleep problems, parenting pressures, anger, low self-esteem and life changes. Angela holds BACP accreditation and has four years of practice experience in person-centred counselling.

Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She aims to create a calm space where people can say what they think and feel. Conversations focus on everyday thoughts and habits as well as feelings that get in the way of daily life.

Angela draws on a mix of practical approaches. She uses elements of cognitive behavioural work to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, mindfulness to build present-moment awareness, and psychodynamic ideas to look at deeper relationship patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas also feature when people want to clarify values and take manageable steps forward.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person. Angela listens for what matters to each individual and adapts the conversation to meet those needs. She encourages small, realistic changes that can make daily life easier.

Her background is centred on person-centred practice supported by a range of therapeutic approaches. People who are tired of repetitive thoughts or stuck habits often find this blend useful for making gradual, steady progress in how they live day to day.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and make small chosen moves toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce distress and improve daily routines. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s own experience at the centre and uses empathic listening to help people feel heard and make decisions about their next steps.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative task. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then try methods that match those aims. That plan can change over time as the client and counsellor learn what works best together.

Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy week, and offering sessions that suit quieter surroundings or less screen time. Registered or accredited professionals will support practical adjustments so sessions work with each person’s routine.
