Hi I am Angela

I was born and raised in Scotland, moving to Australia 16 years ago. I initially studied and worked as an early childhood teacher returning to study psychology and completed my masters in clinical psychology, here in Australia. I have worked across, healthcare, education, trauma counselling, and private practice fields the past 16 years, giving me a wealth of knowledge and experience across the life span.
