Angela Chadwick
Registered Psychologist
B.Science (Psych), Post Grad Dip Psych, Grad Dip Professional Psych

Angela is a Registered Psychologist based in Fairy Meadow (Wollongong, NSW). Her private practice offers compassionate support for perinatal mental health concerns, maternal wellbeing, and trauma recovery throughout every stage of the pregnancy-to-parenthood journey.

Angela’s main focus area is perinatal trauma and PTSD, with particular attention to fertility challenges, birth trauma, and medical trauma. Angela recognises that trauma can show up in many different ways during these life transitions, and she is committed to offering compassionate care to those navigating these experiences.

Angela has a strong interest in the use of EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) within the perinatal space and has intentionally shaped much of her professional development towards offering perinatal EMDR therapy. In addition to perinatal trauma, Angela also supports individuals navigating the emotional challenges of the perinatal period more broadly, including pregnancy difficulties, early parenting stress, and infant or child loss.

With a deep appreciation for the complexities of parenting, Angela integrates other evidence-based therapies; including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, and Resource Therapy (‘parts work’), with the goal of developing treatment tailored to each person’s individual needs and goals.

Angela welcomes clients from all backgrounds, including people of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities, and offers a safe, respectful, and compassionate space.

She is also committed to supporting mental health clinicians in developing their skills in perinatal EMDR, providing supervision and training to help build confidence in this area.
