Welcome, I’m Angela.

Perinatal and Infant Psychologist | EMDRAA Accredited Practitioner | EMDR Therapist | Board Approved Clinical Supervisor

With over 20 years of experience in mental health and 14 years as a psychologist, I have developed a particular focus on perinatal, reproductive and medical trauma, complex trauma and EMDR therapy.

I work with adults navigating the impact of trauma across conception, pregnancy, birth, pregnancy loss and early parenthood, including fertility treatment, traumatic birth, pregnancy complications, emergency interventions, NICU experiences and other medically complex journeys. I am particularly interested in how earlier experiences of trauma and adversity can resurface during the transition to parenthood, and how these experiences can continue to shape a person's sense of safety, relationships and experience of themselves.

My approach draws on trauma-focused EMDR, attachment-informed and relational perspectives, and other evidence-based therapies, with treatment tailored to the person, their history and goals.

My interest in trauma extends beyond birth and the parent's experience to the impact of frightening early experiences on the infant or young child themselves. I have a special interest in trauma-focused work with infants and young children aged 0–4 years, including dyadic EMDR where clinically appropriate.

Alongside my clinical practice, I provide EMDR consultation, clinical supervision and training for mental health professionals, with a particular focus on applying EMDR to perinatal presentations.

Trauma may be part of someone's story, but it is never the whole person.
