About Angela

Angela McGrath is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 25 years of professional experience. She helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, sleep problems, addictions and anger. Angela also supports people with self-esteem and challenges linked to bipolar mood patterns. She works in English and accepts international clients.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. Angela uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to the client. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people try new ways of thinking and acting. Sessions often involve setting clear, small goals and testing changes between appointments.

Angela is used to talking through communication and control issues, family problems, isolation and social anxiety. She helps people who face panic attacks, phobias or struggles with drug and alcohol use. Conversations include exploring patterns, spotting triggers and planning alternative responses to strong feelings.

She aims to make the work straightforward. Expect a mix of listening, practical exercises and agreed steps to try out in daily life. Angela asks about current difficulties, looks at what already helps you cope, and co-creates small action plans to reduce reactivity and build calmer responses.

To start, people complete a short questionnaire that helps match them and then schedule a first session. Pricing varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Angela uses practical therapies online

Angela commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person, which helps people clarify feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and is useful for tackling patterns that fuel anger, anxiety and low mood.

She treats finding the right way of working as a team effort. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try approaches and adjust them based on what helps. That collaborative process guides whether more listening, cognitive work or short, goal-focused sessions are used.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practise new responses between meetings and bring real-life situations back to the session for review.
