Angela Mowbray, BACP

Angela Mowbray is an integrative counsellor with three years of practice based in the United Kingdom. She supports people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship worries and the strain of life changes. Angela aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, non-judgemental space to talk about what matters most.

Her approach is simple and practical. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and small steps that make life feel more manageable. Angela listens first, then works with each person to shape strategies that suit their day-to-day life rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

She draws on a range of well-known methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred ways of working. These approaches are used to help people notice thought patterns, try new behaviours and build clearer personal values to guide choices.

Angela also uses psychodynamic ideas to consider how past experiences affect current feelings, and solution-focused techniques to set achievable short-term goals. Together these help with specific problems like panic, eating and intimacy-related concerns, as well as longer-term issues such as grief, chronic illness or caregiver stress.

Sessions are conducted in English and reflect Angela’s aim to be practical and supportive. She works with people on topics like ADHD, addiction, parenting strain and communication problems, helping them find clearer ways forward at their own pace.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Angela often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress and decisions tied to life changes. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which helps break down patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain problems like panic, low mood or social anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angela will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and they will decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs become clearer.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm which formats Angela currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need sessions that fit into a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals use similar approaches online as they do in person, and Angela adapts her methods to make them work by phone or video where available.
