About Angela

Angela Farrelly is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. Angela also works with concerns such as motivation, addictions, grief and sleep or eating difficulties.

She describes clients as the experts in their own stories and builds on existing strengths. In sessions she listens to what matters most and helps people name emotions that feel confusing or hard to manage. Practical aims can include clearer thinking, steadier mood, and more reliable routines for sleep, food and daily tasks.

Angela uses approaches that focus on emotions and relationships, alongside therapies that target thoughts and behaviour. This includes Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. She adapts her way of working to the concern being raised and the pace an individual prefers.

Her practice covers a broad range of issues beyond mood and anxiety, such as attachment difficulties, ADHD, carer stress and chronic illness. She can also support people exploring relationship patterns, LGBT concerns, parenting strain and career stress.

Sessions are conducted in English. Angela notes that taking the first step can require courage, and she aims to help people make practical changes while recognising the strengths they already have.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name difficult emotions and how those feelings shape their relationships and responses. EFT can be useful when patterns feel stuck or when emotions are hard to put into words. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and practical steps to live according to what matters, while also teaching ways to respond differently to painful thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers concrete strategies for changing unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angela will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods suit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process means trying practical tools, then checking how they fit and adjusting the focus as needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, permit shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, breathing techniques and behavioural tasks to remote sessions so clients can practice changes between meetings.
