Angela Farrelly, BACP

Angela Farrelly helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. She works with concerns such as trauma, addiction, grief, sleep and eating problems, and relationship or career strain. Angela welcomes conversations about parenting challenges, compassion fatigue and neurodiversity-related issues including ADHD and autism. She is introduced as a warm, straightforward counsellor who aims to make the first step feel manageable.

Angela views each person as the expert on their own life. She uses practical talking and simple tools to build on people’s strengths. Sessions focus on small, realistic changes that make daily life easier rather than big, abstract goals. Her style is calm and collaborative, with room for honest feeling and problem-solving.

Across four years in practice she has supported clients with a wide range of difficulties. That experience informs a flexible approach that draws on different methods to match what a person needs in the moment. Angela holds BACP registration, which reflects recognised professional standards in the UK.

Therapy sessions may include short exercises, reflective conversation and strategies to manage strong emotions or unhelpful thoughts. The aim is to leave people with clearer coping steps they can use between sessions. Angela encourages steady progress at a pace that feels right.

Sessions are offered in English and may be conducted through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment according to availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them. It teaches practical skills for choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences affect current reactions. It can help people understand repeated relationship difficulties and develop new ways of connecting and trusting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit their needs. This is a collaborative process, and plans can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow brief, written exchanges and can be easier to fit into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent even with a packed schedule or when travel would be difficult.
