Audrey Garland, BACP

Audrey Garland is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience. She focuses on practical support for common struggles such as eating concerns, low self-esteem, motivation and depression. She aims to make the first step into therapy easier by offering a calm and respectful space to talk.

In sessions she creates an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement. Conversations are shaped around what matters most to the client, with the counsellor listening, reflecting and asking helpful questions. This approach is straightforward and people are encouraged to set the pace.

Audrey uses Client-Centred Therapy, which puts the person’s own experience at the centre of work. That approach helps when people want to be heard, make sense of difficult feelings, or build confidence to try different ways of coping.

She has supported people with a broad range of concerns including anxiety, stress, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, sleeping problems, anger and changes such as separation or bereavement. Additional areas of focus listed include family-related challenges, attachment and abandonment issues, body image and eating-related difficulties.

Sessions are conducted in English and Audrey accepts international clients. She encourages anyone feeling unsure about starting therapy to take the small step of enquiring and completing the short matching questionnaire to find out more.

Client‑centred care and online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client’s own experience. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is heard and helps the person clarify their feelings and goals. This approach can be useful for people who want to understand their emotions better, build self-esteem, or work through eating and relationship worries.

The collaborative process means the counsellor and client decide together what to try next. The therapist will check in about how an approach feels and adapt work to match the person’s goals and preferences. Finding the best fit is an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time decision.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when needed. It also lets people access a registered professional from different locations. The counsellor will discuss practical arrangements and help plan sessions that suit everyday life and commitments.
