Angela Garlick , BACP

Angela Garlick is a UK-licensed counsellor with four years of experience working in person-centered practice and holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She focuses on creating a calm, respectful space where people can speak freely and explore the thoughts and feelings that feel weighed down by stress, anxiety, trauma, grief or relationship difficulties.

Her approach centers on listening without judgement and responding with sensitivity and compassion. Angela works collaboratively to understand each person’s unique situation and tailors sessions to meet specific needs, whether the focus is on coping with loss, managing depression, improving family or parenting dynamics, or addressing issues such as anger, self-esteem and career concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma, abuse, bipolar symptoms, ADHD and the broad effects of life transitions.

Angela acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and values the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change. Her practice emphasizes respect, empathy and practical support aimed at helping people move toward clearer thinking, steadier emotions and more manageable day-to-day living.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take gentle, values-led steps toward those goals. It combines practical strategies with acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings, and can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress and life changes.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a non-judgemental, empathic relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and mirrors the client’s experience. This approach supports self-exploration and can help with relationship issues, grief, low self-esteem and parenting challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management and sleep difficulties by teaching concrete skills for coping and problem solving.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Angela Garlick works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting techniques over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit support into a busy life or to access care from different locations. These options allow therapy to continue with consistent appointments and varied communication styles to suit each person.
