Angela is a Registered Psychologist working in private practice (Wollongong, NSW), focusing on perinatal mental health, maternal wellbeing, and trauma recovery. Angela supports people whom are planning to fall pregnant, are pregnant, are in the postpartum period and those who are navigating their parenting journey.

Angela’s particular interest lies in supporting people who might have experienced adverse, or traumatic life events within the context of the perinatal period; this extends to birth trauma, PTSD, complex traumatic experiences, acute stress, adjustment to parenting, maternal distress, identity changes throughout motherhood, worry about pregnancy and/or childbirth, grief and loss, as well as more general anxiety, worry, depression and mood fluctuations.

Angela’s therapeutic approach is warm and conversational. She aims to foster a safe space where all thoughts and feelings are welcome, without judgement. As a mother herself, Angela brings a deep and empathetic understanding of the challenges that can arise during pregnancy and parenthood.

In terms of her therapeutic ‘toolkit’, Angela has undertaken additional training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which she utilizes to help people process and move beyond trauma. Angela also integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Schema Therapy into her practice, with the goal of crafting personalised treatment plans, tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals.
