Angela Farrelly, BACP

Angela Farrelly is a BACP counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She works with issues such as motivation, confidence and coping after difficult events. Angela emphasises practical steps and clear conversation to help people move forward.

She sees the person as the expert in their own life and builds on existing strengths. Sessions focus on small, achievable changes alongside looking at unhelpful patterns. Angela often uses straightforward tools to manage anxiety and lift low mood.

Her approach draws on a mix of talking therapies tailored to each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and act on them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps with spotting and changing thinking patterns that keep problems going.

Angela also includes attachment-informed ideas to understand relationship patterns and how past experiences shape current reactions. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are sometimes used for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. The mix chosen in sessions depends on what feels most useful to each person.

With four years of experience in the UK, Angela aims for straightforward, compassionate work. She encourages people to take the first step and offers a calm, steady space to talk things through. Practical techniques and clear discussion are combined with respect for each person’s pace and choices.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions aligned with those values. It is useful when life changes or low mood make direction feel unclear. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and teaching practical techniques to change them. This approach works well for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help when relationship or caregiving issues cause repeated stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Angela will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adapting as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people join sessions from different locations while keeping continuity of care. Registered or accredited professionals can use these methods effectively online, and Angela aims to adapt exercises so they work well in a remote setting.
