About Angela

Angela Farrelly helps people facing sleep problems alongside a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and low self esteem. She supports those coping with life changes, grief, addictions, relationship strain and career worries. Angela encourages a gentle, practical approach so people can start to make small, manageable changes.

Her style is straightforward and warm. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and focuses on strengths. Sessions aim to identify realistic steps to improve day-to-day routines, mood and rest, rather than promising quick fixes. Angela often uses talking, simple exercises and goal-setting to help people try new ways of managing problems.

Angela has four years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on several therapy approaches to suit different needs, mixing problem-solving tools with emotional support. The approach is collaborative, with practical tips given between sessions when useful.

Her background includes work with people dealing with trauma and abuse, ADHD, compassion fatigue, chronic illness and caregiving stress. She also supports concerns around eating, bipolar disorder, anger and attachment issues. Angela pays attention to how life events, routines and sleep patterns interact with mood and wellbeing.

People who come to Angela can expect calm, clear guidance and a focus on small changes that fit everyday life. To begin, she asks clients to reflect on what they want to change and to agree simple steps to try between sessions.

Therapy approaches that work online and in life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and then take small steps toward those values while learning ways to tolerate difficult feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep disruption. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, behaviours and feelings and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and routines that affect rest and mood. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current trust and connection; it can help when relationship patterns or past hurts affect wellbeing.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that seem to fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as you learn what helps most.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to attend from different locations. It also allows for shorter check-ins when days are full, and sessions without needing travel time. Many people find online sessions help them try practical changes to routines and sleep in real time, then reflect on what worked in the next meeting.
