Angela Rees, BACP

Angela Rees is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has three years of professional experience and focuses on everyday struggles such as stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people facing life changes and the specific pressures that come with caregiving.

Angela aims to create an open space where clients can talk freely without fear of judgment. She works alongside people to help them name difficult feelings and make small, practical changes. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady support through that process.

In sessions she listens for what matters most to each person and helps them build strategies they can use between appointments. That might include clearer ways to talk about needs, practices to ease panic or grounding steps to manage overwhelming moments. The emphasis is on useful, manageable tools rather than jargon.

Her work also attends to issues like guilt, shame, isolation and difficulties with control. She helps people explore life purpose, midlife questions and women's issues in a straightforward way. Conversations aim to restore self-compassion and practical coping skills.

Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental presence and a focus on real-life outcomes. Angela supports people as they move towards greater confidence and steadier mood. If you are caring for someone and feeling strained, she includes caregiver stress among the concerns she addresses.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online counselling

Angela describes her work as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping and emotional understanding. For example, brief structured exercises help with panic and anxiety by teaching grounding and breathing practices that reduce immediate overwhelm. She also uses problem-focused work to break down big life changes into manageable steps, which can help when someone is feeling stuck or unsure what to do next.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy itself. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different ways of working together until a good fit is found. That means the methods used can change as your needs and priorities become clearer, and decisions about approach are made collaboratively.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the specific session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, remove travel time and allow quicker check-ins during a hectic week. It can also make some sessions shorter or less formal when needed, for example a quick conversation to review coping steps or a full appointment to work through deeper emotions. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can discuss which format will work best for your situation during the initial scheduling.
