Background and approach
Angela commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different patterns. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Narrative Therapy when exploring relationships and personal stories. Hypnotherapy is included as an option for people who respond well to guided imagery and suggestion.
Sessions tend to include practical exercises, skill-building, and short home tasks to try between meetings. She encourages clients to set realistic goals and to review progress regularly. That way small changes add up over time.
Angela offers care in English and Croatian to people in Australia. She tailors the format and pace to each person’s situation and helps them decide what will work best for their life and commitments.
Approaches you can use online
Angela frequently uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving, which is useful for anxiety, stress and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build calm.She also works with Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand strong feelings in relationships and Narrative Therapy to reframe personal stories. EFT helps when emotions get overwhelming in close interactions, while Narrative Therapy can help people separate themselves from painful events and reshape their life story.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Together they will try an approach and adjust it if needed, so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video suits more conversational work and demonstrations of techniques. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins, brief coaching or step-by-step exercises without being on camera, which can fit into busy days.
