About Angela

Angela Farrelly is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She helps those facing life changes, motivation challenges and confidence struggles. Angela works from the view that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work.

She draws on a mix of practical approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas to help break down unhelpful patterns. Attachment-based and client-centred ways of working shape sessions so conversations focus on what matters to the person and on building a more manageable day-to-day.

Angela has four years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is recorded as BACP. She will treat clients as individuals and work at a pace that suits each person’s readiness to change.

In sessions she listens for what the client already does well and looks for small, doable steps to build confidence and reduce overwhelm. Work can include learning coping skills, planning practical changes, and practising different ways of responding to difficult feelings.

Starting therapy is framed as a collaborative process. Angela aims to help people notice patterns, try new options, and move towards goals that matter to them.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, motivation and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and practising new, more helpful ways of thinking and doing. It can help with depression, anxiety and sleep or eating difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest methods that could fit. This is a collaborative process so plans can be adjusted as therapy continues to make sure the work feels useful.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around everyday life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins between commitments. It can also allow a focus on skills practice and real-life problem solving in moments when people need them most. Registered or accredited professionals aim to adapt sessions so they suit each person’s routine and goals.
