Working with Angela
Broad Life Experience
Angela came to psychotherapy with a solid grounding of life experience. She grew up in Tasmania and left to explore the world in 1988 to create a thriving arts tourism business in Montreal, Quebec, employing staff and experiencing the rigours of small business. She has lived on different continents, is fluent in French, and has a tertiary trained painting practice.
Angela has personally experienced traumatic grief and recovered from severe physical injury. She moved her family and life back to Tasmania in 2001 and raised her children while consulting in arts-tourism
Authentic Communication
Of primary importance to therapeutic work is a commitment to exploring personal truths. Elusive as this can be, Angela supports you on this journey.
We identify the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of complex concerns with respect and dignity. Moral injuries, raw memories and personal indignities are held with sensitivity and care. Honesty and authenticity fuel your personal change and discovery.
Neurobiology
Angela has a deep understanding of the neurobiology of trauma and a sound working knowledge of specialised and effective therapeutic approaches such as EMDR* therapist and Schema Therapy. Angela is also trained and experienced in the harm minimisation of psychedelic assisted therapy.** (trauma and bad trip integration).
*Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
*Angela will not jeopardise her practice with any unlawful practices .
Mind - Body
Any investigation into mental health requires reflection on physical health. The link between brain and body is receiving more research attention because of positive results.
Angela will support you to find a balance between your digital life and engaging with the natural environment, somatic, or body therapies, creative and reflective practices.
Breath work, movement like dance, yoga and walking have proven results. And many eco-nature therapies help balance our minds, our bodies and our environment.
Even a joyous belly laugh cannot be underestimated! Watch out for Angela’s sense of humour!
Intergenerational Therapy
Angela’s practice framework is guided by a keen understanding of intergenerational trauma. Even our DNA may reference and be affected by historical family events as epigenetic research has discovered.
An exploration of family history often reveals intriguing connections and symmetries that assist in unpicking unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour to offer unexpected ways forward.
Sensemaking and Culture
Exploring your broader social and cultural contexts can bring understanding and compassion for yourself and others. The influence and pressure of divisional ideologies in a complex and rapidly changing world can easily collide with our mental health, relationships and workplaces.
Talking through the morass of conflicting information, responsibilities can help you find peace in a stormy world.
Angela will help you make sense and meaning of modern life
