About Angela
Angela Garlick is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties and relationship strain. She supports those coping with grief, trauma and loss, as well as issues around self-esteem, parenting and life changes. Her manner is warm and non-judgemental, and she aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable.
Her practice is rooted in person-centred work, which means conversations follow what matters most to the client. She also uses elements from cognitive behavioural approaches and mindfulness to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and routines. Angela draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat across relationships and over time.
Sessions focus on practical ways to relieve day-to-day distress as well as on understanding deeper causes. For sleep and rest concerns she will listen to current habits, bedtime routines and worries that can keep sleep fragile. Together with clients she lays out small, realistic changes they can try between sessions.
Angela has four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. She aims to treat clients with respect and compassion and to adapt her approach to each person’s needs.
People starting work with Angela begin by describing what they most want to change. From there she and the client build a plan that mixes talking, skill practice and simple exercises to support calmer days and better rest.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and persistent sleep worries. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives straightforward tools to change routines that feed anxiety or sleepless nights. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person leading the conversation while the counsellor offers empathy and acceptance to help the client feel heard.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your main goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. That plan can change as work progresses and as what helps becomes clearer.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins around a work break. It can also make some practical tasks easier, like sharing homework, practising mindfulness exercises between meetings, or keeping a sleep diary that you review together.
