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 UK. She works with young adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and the challenge of big life changes. Angela also supports people dealing with addiction, relationship strains, grief and sleep or eating concerns.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She starts by listening to the real problems a person brings and identifies small, practical steps to try between sessions. Angela uses methods from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build flexible ways of coping.
Attachment-based ideas are used where relationships and patterns from the past affect current life. She also draws on dialectical behaviour therapy skills when emotions feel overwhelming and practical regulation is needed. Sessions are conversational and aim to make difficult topics easier to talk about.
People can expect to work on skills for managing anxiety, routines for better sleep and ways to reframe negative self-talk. Angela helps clients organise goals around career, parenting pressures and the stresses of starting adult life. She pays attention to how identity, relationships and transitions intersect in daily choices.
Her work acknowledges that change can be slow and sometimes messy. Angela encourages realistic, step-by-step practice and checks progress regularly. To begin, clients follow the online sign-up steps and schedule a first session after a short matching questionnaire.
How Angela uses therapeutic approaches online
Angela works with cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and problems with sleep or routine by offering practical exercises and structured tasks.She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. ACT helps when someone wants to keep living a meaningful life despite painful feelings.
Finding the right approach happens together. Angela discusses goals and preferences and suggests approaches that fit each person’s situation. That choice is reviewed as work progresses so methods can be adjusted to what actually helps.
