About Angela
Angela McGrath offers straightforward, compassionate support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief or problems with sleep. She introduces a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk honestly about what is worrying them. Angela names practical steps alongside emotional support so sessions feel useful from the start.
She has 25 years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Over that time she has supported people dealing with addictions and bipolar difficulties, and those struggling with anger or low self-esteem.
How Angela works
She also works with concerns such as panic, phobias, social anxiety and loneliness. Angela draws on a few simple therapy styles that focus on the person and on finding manageable change. She uses client-centred conversations to help people feel heard and understood.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools are used when practical ways to change thoughts or habits are helpful. When motivation is low she brings in motivational interviewing to help people identify what matters to them and build small steps forward. Solution-focused techniques support short-term planning and clearer next actions when problems feel stuck.
Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged for clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. People can expect clear, practical guidance, a steady listening ear, and help making changes that fit daily life.

Online support options
Approaches and online support that fit your life
Client-centred therapy is built around listening and understanding. The counsellor focuses on your experience, offering space to talk and helping you feel heard so you can work out what matters most to you.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, improve mood and change unhelpful patterns.
Motivational Interviewing helps when motivation is low or change feels difficult. It encourages people to identify their own reasons for change and break steps down into manageable goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angela will help you and the counsellor decide which methods fit your needs, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit brief check-ins, and messages let you reflect in writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
