Angela is a registered psychologist with AHPRA and has over 14 years’ experience providing counselling and psychotherapy to children, adolescents and adults.

Angela is experienced in working with clients for a range of issues including: anxiety; depression; self-harm; grief and loss; self-esteem and body image issues; life transitions and adjustment difficulties; school refusal; stress management; relationship/interpersonal difficulties and post and perinatal depression/anxiety. While Angela specialises in working with children and adolescents, she is experienced in working with clients of all ages to achieve long-term change.

Angela is passionate about client-centred therapy and applies a holistic approach. She values the importance of utilising a 'team' approach with her clients to equip them with strategies that will benefit them outside of the therapeutic space, so they can flourish and lead a life that has purpose and meaning for them. Angela takes a great deal of care in creating an environment of safety and acceptance so that her clients feel comfortable and supported as individuals.

Angela is trained in a number of evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Play and Art Therapy. She believes that there is no ‘one size fits all’ method to therapy and approaches are always tailored to meet the specific needs of the client.
