Angela Garlick, BACP

Angela Garlick helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and parenting strains. She is also experienced with issues such as sleep disturbance, low self-esteem, anger, career worries, bipolar challenges, ADHD and coping with life changes. Angela holds BACP which reflects her professional registration in the UK. She writes plainly and supports individuals who are ready to talk about what feels heavy in their lives.

Her counselling style is rooted in person-centred values. She aims to listen without judgement and to treat people with respect and compassion. Sessions focus on the client's concerns and priorities, with space to speak openly and to be heard. Angela emphasises building a working relationship that feels trustworthy and responsive to individual needs.

Practically, she blends several approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas. That mix lets her adapt to different problems such as grief, trauma, attachment difficulties and patterns that repeat in relationships. She works with what matters to the person in the room and uses tools that fit their situation.

With four years of experience, Angela has supported people through loss, family problems, abandonment feelings, and caregiver stress. She also addresses body image, cancer-related worries, guilt, shame and forgiveness. The aim is to reduce what gets in the way of daily life and to build clearer ways to cope.

If someone chooses to start, Angela asks them to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions according to availability. Sessions are offered in English and are based in the United Kingdom.

How Angela’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take steps that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with sleep, low mood and anxiety. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, offering a listening space where people can speak openly and develop self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that suit the client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where approaches are adapted as therapy unfolds, not fixed in advance.

If you are considering online therapy, check the available session formats before booking. Confirming options helps make sure sessions fit into daily life and commitments. Online therapy can make it easier to attend appointments from different locations, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Registered or accredited professionals can explain how they plan sessions so they work alongside work, family or medical routines.
