About Angela
With over 20 years of experience in the UK in the areas of Education, young people's mental health services, and as a Therapeutic Social Worker. My journey is rooted in a deep understanding of the complexities of parenting, particularly when life feels overwhelming or behaviour is intense. I have training in DDP, NVR and Therapeutic Life Story Work, ensuring that my approach is both trauma-aware and grounded in evidence-based practice.
My work is guided by a deep knowledge of Child Development and the principles of Connection First and Regulation before Reaction. I believe that every parent deserves a space to feel seen, heard, and supported as they navigate their unique family dynamics. Whether through one-on-one coaching or group programmes, I am here to help you find your balance and thrive as a parent.
