About Audrey

Audrey Garland is a BACP counsellor who has worked in the UK for three years. She focuses on practical support for people dealing with eating concerns, low self‑esteem, depression and motivation. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at making a first step feel manageable for a worried parent reading on their phone.

She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions are conversational and paced to the person’s needs.

Background and approach

Audrey helps clients name problems and try small changes that feel doable in daily life. Audrey uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow the person’s lead and build understanding. That approach supports exploration of emotions and helps people feel heard.

It is useful for issues such as stress, anxiety, grief and relationship tensions. Her work also covers parenting matters and family-related stress. She offers support around coping with life changes, sleep difficulties, anger and compassion fatigue.

Audrey can help people reflect on behaviour patterns and develop clearer ways to communicate and set boundaries. People can expect practical conversations, gentle challenge, and encouragement to try new strategies between sessions. The focus is on steady, realistic steps rather than quick fixes.

Audrey acknowledges the courage it takes to seek help and aims to make the process as straightforward as possible.

Online support

Client-centred care and online access

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear and follows the client’s priorities. This approach helps people to explore feelings, build self-understanding and gain confidence in making changes.

That same client-led way of working can suit a wide range of difficulties. For parenting concerns, grief, anxiety or stress, the therapist will work collaboratively to identify goals and try approaches that fit the person's life. Deciding which method to use happens together, and adjustments are made as needs and goals become clearer.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging makes therapy easier to fit into busy schedules. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls use less bandwidth, live chat supports shorter check-ins and messaging lets people reflect in writing between appointments. These options increase flexibility and make it simpler to keep momentum between sessions.
