About Angela
Angela McGrath welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress or panic. She writes in a calm, straightforward way and aims to make the first steps into counselling simple. Angela has 25 years of experience and uses that to guide practical conversations about what is happening now.
She creates an open space where clients can say what they think and feel without judgement. Sessions focus on what is getting in the way day to day, and on small changes that can make life easier. Parents reading on a phone will find short, clear explanations and a steady, patient approach.
Angela uses talking therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred approaches to help people manage thoughts, feelings and unhelpful patterns. She also draws on motivational interviewing to support changes around substance use and solution-focused techniques to set achievable goals.
Her background spans work with stress, depression, grief and sleep difficulties, and includes support for addictions, anger and low self-esteem. Panic disorder and panic attacks are among the areas she sees, and she offers practical tools to reduce their impact.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Angela asks people to take a small matching questionnaire to begin, then arrange sessions that suit their schedule. She aims for therapy that fits everyday life and helps clients make steady progress.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and understanding. The therapist follows the person's lead and helps them make sense of their feelings, which can be useful for anxiety, grief and self-esteem issues.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses practical exercises and pacing to reduce panic symptoms, challenge unhelpful thinking and support better sleep and mood.
Motivational Interviewing helps people who want to change behaviours such as problematic drinking or drug use. It uses gentle questions to clarify motivations and to build the person’s readiness to try new strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to use. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to carry tools from sessions into daily life. Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people find that speaking from a quieter place at home or during a break at work helps them stay consistent with appointments and practise techniques between sessions.
