About Angela
Angela Garlick helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship difficulties. She also supports people facing anger, low self-esteem, sleep problems, parenting strain, career uncertainty and life changes. Angela is a BACP counsellor with four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
Her approach is warm and person-centred. She creates a respectful space where people can speak openly without judgement. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the individual and finding practical ways to manage day-to-day struggles.
How Angela works
Angela draws on a mix of therapies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness practices and psychodynamic thinking. This means conversations can include noticing unhelpful thoughts, practising grounding or breathing exercises, and looking at patterns from the past that influence today. She pays attention to both immediate coping skills and longer term changes.
That might mean learning techniques for sleep and stress, working through grief, or exploring attachment and family concerns one step at a time. The pace is set by the person in therapy. Sessions are intended to be straightforward and practical.
Angela aims to treat people with sensitivity and compassion while helping them identify goals and small actions that make daily life easier. She encourages anyone taking the first step to recognise that reaching out is an important move toward feeling better.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to focus on actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the session, so the counsellor listens deeply and follows the client’s lead to build understanding and self-direction.Angela also uses elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to reduce unhelpful patterns. Together these approaches give options for short-term coping and longer term personal work. The therapist will work collaboratively to find which approach or mix suits the person's goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to arrange therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping the focus on what the person needs from the process.
