Angela Garlick , BACP

Angela Garlick is a UK-licensed counsellor with four years of professional experience working in person-centred practice. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and relationship difficulties by offering a respectful and empathetic therapeutic presence. Angela creates a non-judgemental space where clients can explore difficult thoughts and feelings, often finding that being heard eases some of the emotional burden that has been holding them back.

Her work emphasises sensitivity and compassion, and she pays close attention to the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for change. Angela adapts her style to meet each person’s unique needs, listening for what matters most and supporting practical ways to cope with life’s challenges. She communicates in English and practises from the United Kingdom.

Angela holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, as a professional credential. She recognises that beginning therapy can require courage and acknowledges the significance of taking that first step toward seeking support.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Angela draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports moving toward a more values-driven life - it can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with change. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and unconditional positive regard, creating a compassionate space where the client’s own insight and choices are central - this approach can be helpful for relationship concerns, grief and self-esteem issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) explores the links between thoughts, emotions and behaviour, offering practical strategies to challenge unhelpful patterns and develop new coping skills, often used for depression, anxiety and sleeping difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Angela works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best with their needs, goals and preferences. She listens to client feedback and adapts methods over time so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging gives flexibility for people balancing work, family and other commitments. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from home or elsewhere, offering continuity of care and convenient ways to maintain momentum between sessions.
