Counsellor
Angela is part of The Patient Approach team, offering gentle, steady and relational support to paediatric and adult clients, couples and families navigating cancer, significant health diagnoses, grief, burnout, relationship challenges and emotionally complex life transitions.
Angela works alongside individuals and families experiencing chronic illness, injury, cardiac events, treatment and recovery, as well as life stages such as perimenopause, menopause, children leaving home, career transitions and retirement.
Angela also offers couples counselling, providing a supportive and non-judgemental space for partners to strengthen communication, navigate relationship difficulties, rebuild connection and work through periods of change or uncertainty. Whether couples are experiencing challenges with communication, emotional disconnection, significant life stressors or the impact of illness on their relationship, Angela supports them in developing greater understanding, connection and healthier ways of moving forward together.
She also supports individuals, couples and families navigating neurodivergence, exhaustion, compassion fatigue and carer burnout.
With a warm, grounded and compassionate approach, Angela creates a safe space for clients to process difficult experiences, strengthen relationships, adapt to change and move forward in a way that feels meaningful and sustainable. Her work is client-centred, neuroaffirming and LGBTIQA+ affirming, with a strong focus on connection, emotional safety and individualised support.
