About Angela
Angela Jakovac is an AHPRA-registered counsellor with 35 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, career difficulties and depression. She also focuses on communication problems, isolation and social anxiety.
Angela keeps sessions direct and practical. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, and then tries different ways of responding. Therapy often includes short exercises, conversational checks and agreed homework to practise between sessions.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with emotionally-focused, narrative and mindfulness techniques. Hypnotherapy is also part of her toolkit when clients ask about it. Sessions mix talking, skill-building and reflective tasks rather than long lectures.
Angela adapts the pace to what each person needs. She explains steps clearly and checks progress regularly. If something isn't working she adjusts the plan and tries another technique.
People who prefer clear structure and practical strategies may find this style useful. Angela speaks English and Croatian and works from Australia. Before booking, clients are asked to confirm current session options and costs so they know what to expect.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Angela commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical coping strategies. CBT sessions typically involve setting goals, practicing thought records and trying small behavioural experiments that can be reviewed each week. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to look at emotions and relationship patterns within a person's life, helping them notice and shift interaction habits that cause distress. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Angela will discuss your goals and preferences, then recommend which methods to try first. She checks progress and adjusts the plan if something isn’t helping, so the work is responsive rather than fixed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and they can allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed. Discussing format and timing at the first appointment helps align sessions with day-to-day life.
