Angela Rees, BACP

Angela Rees is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She works with people who feel stuck by life changes, depression or midlife questions and who want clearer direction and more confidence. Angela presents herself as a calm, steady presence for conversations about difficult emotions.

She has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. In sessions she aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without fear of judgment. The first steps can feel daunting, and she supports clients through that early uncertainty.

Angela focuses on practical ways to manage panic, social anxiety and mood difficulties. She also helps people who are dealing with caregiver stress, issues around control, guilt, shame and isolation. Many clients come to her wanting to talk about life purpose, forgiveness and rebuilding self-love.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She listens, reflects and helps people try small changes between sessions. Conversations are shaped around each person’s goals and day-to-day pressures rather than clinical jargon.

Clients who choose to work with Angela usually want clear, down-to-earth help for emotional overwhelm and life transitions. She encourages realistic steps and regular review of progress so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Approaches that guide online conversations

Angela describes her work as evidence-based and practical, focusing on methods that help people manage feelings and make small changes. One approach she uses helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns so anxiety and low mood become easier to manage; this supports work on panic, social anxiety and depressive thinking. Another strand focuses on step-by-step behavioural changes and activity planning to rebuild motivation and confidence, which can help when someone is feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try options together. This means what happens in sessions is tailored and adjusted over time rather than fixed from the start.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting conversations into a busy week and cutting out travel time. Online work can make it simpler to keep regular sessions during life transitions or caregiving periods.
