About Angela
Angela Farrelly is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She supports people facing life changes and those seeking clearer motivation and confidence. Angela presents a calm, straightforward approach that aims to make the first steps feel easier for a worried parent reading on a phone.
She believes clients are the experts on their own lives and that they already hold strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Angela works in a collaborative way, listening first and then offering practical methods to try between sessions. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, using everyday language rather than clinical jargon. Her practice draws on several evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
These methods are used to help people manage difficult thoughts, build useful habits and clarify personal values. Angela also uses attachment-informed ideas to explore how past relationships shape current patterns. Angela holds BACP registration, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential listed in her background.
She has four years of professional experience supporting adults with a wide range of concerns, including grief, parenting strain, addictions and ADHD-related challenges. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them, and to take small actions that align with what matters most. It can help with anxiety, low mood and feeling overwhelmed.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current ways of relating to others and oneself. It can be helpful for improving communication, emotional regulation and relationship patterns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan as needed, so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging options support quick check-ins or shorter exchanges. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other daily demands.
