Angela Garlick, BACP

Angela Garlick is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties. She also supports those facing trauma, loss and the daily strain of caregiving. Angela works from a person-centred approach and aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space for talking things through.

With four years of professional experience, Angela uses a blend of approaches to suit each person. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and psychodynamic thinking to help people notice patterns and try different ways of coping. Sessions are focused on what matters to the client and practical steps they can use between meetings.

Angela emphasises a collaborative working relationship. She listens openly, reflects what she hears and helps clients set small, realistic goals. Conversations often include exploring thoughts and feelings, practising grounding skills, and finding values-based actions that feel achievable.

Her additional focus areas include ADHD, ageing and geriatric issues, caregiver stress and body image concerns. She also addresses anger, self-esteem, career strain and the effects of abandonment or attachment difficulties.

People meet her to work through life changes, manage mood swings such as bipolar symptoms, or cope with the emotional impact of cancer and bereavement. Angela encourages steady progress over time and supports clients to build routines that fit their lives.

Therapeutic approaches and remote working

Angela often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts while taking small actions that reflect their values. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and offering a non-judgemental, empathic space to talk through concerns.

She also uses elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical exercises that change behaviour. These approaches can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties and coping with major life changes in a step-by-step way.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Angela will work with each person to test what fits their needs and preferences, adjusting methods as progress is reviewed. The aim is to tailor work so clients can practise skills between sessions and measure small gains.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find remote sessions better for quieter reflection, while others prefer longer meetings for deeper discussion; Angela will help you choose what suits your routine and goals.
