About Angela
Counsellor and BACP member Angela Farrelly has four years' experience working with people in the United Kingdom. She helps with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. Angela also works with issues such as addiction, relationship strain, grief and sleep problems.
Angela uses straightforward talking and practical exercises in sessions. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and draws on their strengths to make changes. Sessions focus on what the person wants to work on and on small steps that fit day-to-day life.
Her practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and increase workable choices. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at patterns in close relationships. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and client-centred ways of working inform the skills and the listening she offers.
Sessions tend to break problems down into manageable parts. For someone dealing with anxiety this might mean learning simple skills to steady feelings. For low mood the work often focuses on routines, values and building small actions back into daily life.
People who contact Angela are asked to complete a short questionnaire to match with a first session. She uses a subscription system that can be cancelled at any time and the fee varies with location. Sessions are held in English and international clients are not accepted.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on values and small committed actions, which can help with low mood and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches straightforward techniques to manage anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy considers patterns in close relationships and how early experience shapes trust and connection; it can be useful for relationship difficulties and some long-standing emotional patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angela will discuss different ways of working and agree on a plan with each person. The choice of approach is collaborative and may change as needs and goals become clearer.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions fit better around work and family life, and they can make it easier to keep appointments when travel is difficult. Some formats are quicker for brief check-ins, while others suit deeper discussion when there is time for a longer session. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often adapt tasks and exercises for remote sessions so practical work can continue between meetings.
