Angela Terris - Counselling & CBT

Training, qualifications & experience

About
I'm Angela Terris a psychotherapuetic counsellor, creativity coach and trainer best known for my calm, practical and solution-focused approach. I draw on my past experience in small business, training and mentoring to assist in my counselling practice.

I have always been interested in human nature and how the mind works, asking questions such as: What motivates us? What stops us from achieving what we really want to achieve? How do we go about doing things differently to get better results?

Now it has led to a career in which I feel privileged in helping people overcome adversity to improve their happiness and wellbeing.

I now live and work in Burton-on-Trent and have a long association with the area. Presently I am writing and illustrating a book on Mindfulness and creating a ‘Back to Confidence’ Program both to be realesed next year.

Feedback and kind words from some of my former clients:

“Angela is the most optimistic, calm and easy going person I know. I don’t recognise the person I used to be when I first started sessions compared to who I am now.” — Counselling client

“I didn’t realise how stressed I was until you highlighted it for me. I’m now talking to family and friends and getting the support I need.” — Counselling client

“I wasn’t realty sure what counselling was about but it has been really useful to talk in-depth about our relationship with a third party.” — Counselling client

“Angela really got me, she really understood me and where I was coming from. It helped a lot to talk about things and put everything in perspective.” — Counselling client

“Thank you for caring so much about our relationship.” — Counselling Client

“If it wasn’t for you I would have had a melt down by now. I don’t think I would have coped otherwise. Thank you for helping me get through it and being there for me.” — Counselling client

“You’ve really helped me get back on track. Thank you for your support.” — Counselling client

“I have to admit I was a little skeptical about coming for counselling but I soon realised that it wasn’t anything to be scared about. You helped me feel relaxed and it was much easier than I thought to talk about things.” — Counselling client

“I found the sessions really useful. They helped me to clear my head and get rid of a lot of stuff that was in there. I feel a lot calmer and happier.” — Counselling client

“I don’t think I could have managed without your support. I now understand what’s going on in my life and what’s causing me so much so stress. It’s made such a big difference becoming more aware and I’ve started to make small changes so that I can manage things better.” — Counselling client

“I was scared of making a wrong decision and talking to you helped me to think about things more calmly. I wouldn’t have coped as well as I did without your support. Thank you.” — Counselling client

“Since coming to see you I have become more calm and relaxed. My husband has even noticed! I’m starting to recognise when my thoughts become negative and I can now replace them with more helpful ones.” — Counselling client

“My partner asks what I talk about in these sessions but I don’t want them to know about it yet. It’s something just for me. I’ve never talked to anyone else in this depth before and it’s really helping. I’m back with my partner now and we’re working through things together.” — Counselling client
