About Angela

Angela Farrelly is a BACP registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. Her practice also covers relationship strains, grief, addictions and issues such as ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Angela describes clients as the experts on their own lives. She listens to what matters to each person and helps them use their existing strengths to manage problems that feel overwhelming. Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical steps the client can try between meetings.

Her work draws on several well-known approaches. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new ways of responding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clarify values and build small, meaningful actions that fit a person's life. Attachment-based ideas are woven in when relationship patterns and early experiences affect present behaviour.

In sessions she also uses elements from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and client-centred methods to support emotional regulation and to keep the conversation grounded on what the client says matters. This combination is applied to common concerns such as sleep and eating problems, parenting stress, career uncertainty and chronic health challenges.

She works in English and does not take international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Angela uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioural changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and eating concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to identify what matters to the person and to build small actions that align with those values, often helping with motivation and coping through change. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships that affect current reactions and communication, which can help with relationship and family-related difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Angela works collaboratively to see which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. She will discuss options early on and adjust the style as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and practical.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Discussing formats and timing at the first appointment helps match sessions to everyday life and commitments.
