Angela Farrelly, BACP

Angela Farrelly is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. She also supports those dealing with addiction, grief, relationship and family concerns, and codependency-related patterns.

Angela approaches sessions believing each person knows their story best. She uses practical conversation to help people notice what keeps their difficulties going and where small changes might make daily life more manageable. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what the client wants to work on now.

Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help with painful thoughts and patterns. Attachment-Based work helps when early relationships affect current ones. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and a client-centred stance are also part of her practice when emotion regulation or validation are needed.

Clients can expect clear, down-to-earth discussion about goals and simple skills to practise between sessions. Angela pays attention to how relationships and long-standing patterns, such as people-pleasing or difficulty saying no, affect mood and choices. She helps people spot those patterns and try different ways of responding.

With her background, she can talk through common issues like sleep and eating problems, caring responsibilities, chronic health challenges and workplace stress. People who worry about their reactions to others or who feel stuck after big life changes may find this approach helpful.
