About Angela
Angela Jakovac is an AHPRA-registered clinician with 35 years of experience in Australia. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, career challenges and depression. She also focuses on communication problems, isolation or loneliness, and social anxiety and phobia.
Angela uses clear, direct conversation to find what is causing strain and what might help next. Sessions are practical and paced to each person’s needs. She draws on several approaches and adapts them to what clients say works for them.
Her work often combines thinking-based tools and emotion-focused techniques. That can mean learning new ways to challenge unhelpful thoughts, while also naming and working with difficult feelings. Hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques are used when they suit someone’s preferences and goals.
She also uses narrative ideas to help people retell stressful life events in less blaming ways. These changes aim to help with confidence, clearer decisions about work, and getting unstuck from ongoing worry. The focus is on everyday strategies you can use between sessions.
People who come to Angela are usually looking for straightforward help to reduce worry, process loss, or build more confidence at work and in relationships. She asks practical questions early on and works collaboratively to set goals for sessions.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy is about identifying and naming strong feelings and attachment patterns that affect relationships and behaviour. It helps people who find emotions hard to name or who get stuck in unhelpful interaction patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on how thoughts influence feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to reduce worry and change unhelpful behaviour.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Angela will talk with each person about goals, preferences and how they respond to different methods. Together they decide which combination of EFT, CBT or hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques fits best for the presenting concerns.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people choose whether to use audio or video depending on bandwidth or comfort. Appropriately registered therapists adapt exercises and practices so they can be used during online sessions and between appointments.
