About Angela

Angela Farrelly is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She also helps with coping with life changes, motivation, and confidence. Angela encourages people to recognise their own strengths and to take steady steps toward change.

She works in a straightforward, person-focused way. Sessions centre on the client's priorities and practical next steps rather than on jargon. Angela aims to make the room feel calm and respectful so people can talk about what matters most to them.

Her approach draws on a mix of evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. These methods are used to build coping skills, notice unhelpful patterns, and strengthen relationships with self and others. Angela tailors techniques to the person she is working with rather than following one fixed method.

Angela holds BACP registration, which she uses to guide her professional practice in the United Kingdom. She has around four years of professional experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns, including codependency, addictions, grief and parenting stress.

People who choose to work with Angela can expect a collaborative process. She asks questions, listens closely, and helps set small, achievable goals. The focus is on practical tools and new ways of thinking that can help in day-to-day life.

Approaches that can guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small committed actions that move life in a chosen direction, which can help with anxiety, depression and codependency patterns.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current trust and closeness. It can help people who struggle with abandonment fears, attachment issues or repeated relationship patterns to understand and shift those habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then suggest methods that match those needs. This happens collaboratively so the plan can change as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use lower-bandwidth options if video is difficult. Many registered or accredited professionals adapt ACT and attachment-focused work to an online setting to help with emotional regulation and relationship patterns.
