About Angela

Angela Jakovac is an experienced counsellor with AHPRA registration and 35 years working in Australia. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, career issues and depression. Angela speaks English and Croatian and aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

She uses a practical, conversational style. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and paced to suit how someone is coping right now. Angela aims to listen closely, help clarify problems, and work with clients to set achievable steps forward.

Background and approach

Her background includes long experience supporting people through loss, low motivation and life transitions. She draws on a mix of approaches to help people shift unhelpful thoughts, calm intense feelings and rebuild confidence. Techniques may include gentle mindfulness practices, narrative work to reframe stories, and focused strategies to reduce anxiety.

Angela values straightforward language and practical tools. She helps people break down big problems into smaller actions they can try between sessions. Sessions can include talking, guided exercises and simple homework tailored to each person’s goals.

People who prefer a calm, steady approach are likely to find her style helpful. Angela encourages clients to move at a comfortable pace and to shape therapy around what matters most to them.

Online support

Approaches you can explore online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and how they shape relationships with yourself and others. It helps people notice core feelings, understand how those feelings drive reactions, and practise new ways of responding when emotions run high.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to challenge those thoughts and change behaviour in day-to-day life.

Hypnotherapy is used here as a guided technique to support relaxation, reduce anxiety and strengthen motivation for change. It can be helpful when someone wants a focused way to practice new responses to stress or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options, listen to goals and try methods that fit the person’s needs and preferences. That choice is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to access support. Video calls make it possible to have a full conversational session from anywhere in Australia. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or want brief, ongoing contact between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
