About Angela
Angela McGrath is a counsellor with 25 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She speaks plainly and listens closely, making space for thoughts and emotions without judgment. She encourages small steps forward and acknowledges that beginning therapy takes courage.
Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what the client wants to change. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful patterns and on Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the client’s experience and pace.
Background and approach
Angela also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people weigh options and find internal motivation for change. Solution-Focused Therapy informs short-term goals and small experiments clients can try between sessions. These methods are used together to suit each person’s needs.
She has worked across many settings in the United Kingdom over a long career. That experience includes supporting people with addictions, sleep problems, anger and low self-esteem. She also helps those coping with grief, bipolar mood challenges, panic and social anxiety.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Practical details such as session format and scheduling are explained during the sign-up and matching process. Angela aims to make therapy manageable and relevant to everyday life.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on understanding the client’s perspective and building trust. This approach gives people space to talk at their own pace and make decisions that fit their life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as therapy progresses. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to the individual rather than following a fixed plan.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are close to an in-person meeting and allow face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions work well when less bandwidth is available or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief updates, ongoing support between sessions or people who prefer writing. Together these options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different circumstances.
