Registered Psychologist + EMDR Accredited Consultant (PSY0001711256)
Angela identifies as a “country kid”, growing up in Norseman and Kalgoorlie in Western Australia, where her Dad worked in mining. She started her psychology career in the rural mining town of Cobar NSW, studying while working with the Department of Ageing Disability and Home Care (ADHC) as a service coordinator of incredible volunteers for the local Meals on Wheels and Community Transport programs. She was fortunate enough to work with ADHC Disability Services as a case manager where she coordinated a team of allied health professionals including psychologists, behavioural support workers, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and physiotherapists to work with outback clients and their carers.
Angela unashamedly promotes the need for top notch mental health services in rural and remote locations across NSW and beyond. As the Director and Principal Psychologist at AWI Consulting, she works across all programs including EAPs (Employee Assistance Programs), NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme), Workcover, CTP and private contracts. Angela is a Psychology Board of Australia Supervisor and loves training team members to offer country clients services that are usually only available in the big smoke.
Angela admits that she is an EMDR “nerd” and passionately promotes this mode of therapy (where appropriate) with clients who have experienced complex trauma.
Angela has an insatiable appetite for finding innovative and effective ways to support the clinicians working with AWI Consulting and in the community. She is passionate about providing an amazing client experience and great team environment.
In her spare time, Ange enjoys painting abstract art, tending to her orchard, fishing, stamp collecting, and sharing time with family and friends.
