About Angela
Angela McGrath is a counsellor with 25 years' experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and parenting challenges. She works with individuals dealing with grief, sleep problems, anger, addictions and issues with self-esteem. Her approach is straightforward and warm, helping people feel heard and understood in each session.
Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through what is hard right now. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on small, practical steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Angela uses clear methods drawn from well-known therapies to help people make sense of thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Her background spans many years of direct practice in the United Kingdom. That experience includes supporting people who face panic attacks, phobias, social anxiety, and problems with communication or control.
Angela also works with people coping with drug and alcohol addiction and isolation or loneliness. Angela is a BACP member, which is shown as BACP on her profile, and she draws on several therapy styles to suit different needs. She tailors sessions to each person rather than following a fixed script, and she encourages practical homework to build skills outside sessions.
People using her services can expect sessions that balance listening with action. The emphasis is on working together to find manageable ways forward, whether the immediate need is crisis support, improving sleep, or building self-love and healthier routines.

How her approaches work online and what to expect
Angela often uses client-centred work, helping people feel heard and respected while they describe what is hard for them. This approach focuses on following the person's lead, building trust and making space for honest conversation.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT is practical and problem-focused and can help with anxiety, panic, sleep problems and low mood by teaching straightforward skills to change unhelpful patterns.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. She will discuss options with each person and agree a plan that fits their goals and day-to-day life. Sessions adapt over time as needs change, so the method used can shift if something else would work better.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to give flexible ways to meet. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera, live chat allows shorter check-ins and text messaging can support ongoing notes and prompts between meetings. These options help make therapy fit around work, childcare and travel commitments.
