New and Returning Clients
Due to high demand, Angie is only able to accept (a limited number of) referrals for online appointments only.
We only take on clients when we can ensure we are providing the best possible care, while continuing to give our existing clients the care they deserve, too. For this reason, we do not operate a waiting list. While people are on a waiting list, we aren't able to monitor their well-being, and we believe this does them a disservice.
If an online option may not suit, we encourage you to talk with your GP or NDIS Coordinator about other referral options that might help you find the support you or your child need.
Professional SuperVision
Angie is currently accepting (a limited number of) inquiries about SuperVision.
She extends a warm welcome to social workers pursuing mental health accreditation, play therapists aiming to enrich their practice (Angie is a Registered Play Therapy Supervisor), and allied health practitioners interested in embracing a more neurodiversity-affirming approach.
Angie also offers group SuperVision, for those who prefer the collaborative energy of a peer setting. .png)

The Counselling Space: welcoming and inclusive
We acknowledge the Gumbaynggirr people as the traditional custodians of the land on which we live and work. We give our thanks and pay our respects to their elders past, present and future. We open our minds and hearts to understanding the impact of intergenerational trauma, and stand alongside our first nation peoples in working for redress.
We recognise our LGBTIQAP+ communities have unique health and wellbeing needs, and have been impacted by stigma and discrimination. Our services are inclusive, welcoming and culturally safe.
We are a neurodivergent led and welcoming practice. Rather than focusing on diagnoses as problems that need to be corrected, we are neuro-affirming and support a strengths-based and trauma-informed approach to individual assessment and intervention. Our work references societal barriers and discrimination as the issues that need to be addressed.
