About Angela

Angela McGrath helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, sleep difficulties and low mood. She uses a mix of talking and practical techniques to address parenting strain, anger, self-esteem and bipolar concerns. Angela is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 25 years of professional experience.

She works in a straightforward, conversational way. Sessions focus on what a person is finding hard now and on small, manageable steps forward. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy are offered when helpful, alongside solution-focused conversations that aim to identify immediate changes a person can try.

Motivational interviewing is used to help people who are unsure about change, particularly around drug and alcohol use. Client-centred methods guide the pace and direction of work, so the person sets priorities and Angela follows their lead.

Over 25 years she has supported people dealing with panic, phobias, loneliness and family problems. Angela also addresses control issues, communication difficulties and struggles with self-love and social anxiety.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How Angela uses talking therapies in online sessions

Angela commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at unhelpful thoughts and practical ways to test and change them, which can help with anxiety, panic and low mood. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on what is already working and on small, achievable steps to make clear, immediate differences in day-to-day life.

She also draws on motivational interviewing to support people who are unsure about change, particularly around drug and alcohol issues. Client-centred methods mean the person sets the pace and topics for sessions and the counsellor follows their lead. Deciding which approach to use is a shared process based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences.

Practical benefits of having sessions online include fitting counselling around work and family commitments and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins or evening appointments and can suit people who prefer not to be on camera. The exact session formats available are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking.
