When working with clients, Angela only uses evidence-based therapies including: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Play Therapy, Solutions Focussed Therapy, and Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT).
Educational Assessments
In addition to counselling, Angela has specialised skills in identifying learning difficulties and giftedness in children and adolescents, and is able to provide educational assessments and effective and realistic recommendations for improving learning outcomes.
Unlike many psychologists providing educational assessments, Angela has a teaching background and has worked in the school system as a psychologist. Angela works closely with parents and schools and will attend meetings with school staff to share her recommendations as part of her assessment service. She feels it is extremely important that schools receive feedback about the assessment, so everyone is working together to gain the best possible outcomes for the student.

She is a Parentshop® licensed practitioner in “1-2-3 Magic® and Emotion Coaching”and is able to train parents to use this effective program to manage difficult behaviour in their children ages 2-12.
