Audrey Garland , BACP

Audrey Garland is a counsellor who has practised in the United Kingdom for three years and holds BACP registration. She focuses on women’s issues such as eating concerns, self-esteem, and motivation, alongside common difficulties like depression and anxiety. Her work centres on creating a straightforward, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly about what’s worrying them.

In sessions she aims to listen first and follow the person's lead. Conversations usually begin by exploring the issues that feel most pressing. Audrey helps people name their thoughts and feelings and look for small, practical steps they can try between sessions.

She uses client-centred therapy, which means the person’s experience guides the work. This approach can suit people facing life changes, grief, trauma, relationship strain, or ongoing stress. It is also commonly used when someone wants support with parenting concerns, family difficulties, or sleep and anger problems.

Audrey has worked with concerns ranging from body image and eating-related issues to abandonment and attachment topics. She also addresses communication problems, coping after separation, and compassion fatigue for people in caring roles. Sessions can include talking through practical strategies and reflecting on patterns that keep problems going.

For those who prefer online contact, Audrey offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Sessions are arranged via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and international clients may be seen in English.

How client-centred therapy works online

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens deeply, reflects what they hear and follows the person’s lead. This approach helps when someone wants to work through issues like low self-esteem, eating concerns, grief, or general distress by building understanding at a steady pace.

In online sessions the same client-centred principles apply. The counsellor focuses on what matters most to the person and adapts conversations to the format being used. This flexible, collaborative way of working means the therapist and the person decide together which methods suit their goals and preferences over time.

Online appointments are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel and clearer non-verbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typed conversation or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family life and different time zones.
