Angela Jakovac

Angela Jakovac is an AHPRA-registered counsellor with 35 years of combined professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, career concerns and depression. Angela aims to meet people where they are and treats everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion.

Her sessions are tailored to each person’s needs. Angela listens carefully, then works with clients to set clear, practical goals. She uses everyday language and simple tools to help people manage symptoms and make changes that fit their life.

Over her career Angela has helped people navigate loss, build confidence and handle workplace difficulties. She draws on several approaches to suit different problems, including cognitive work to change unhelpful thinking and techniques that encourage emotional processing.

Angela values collaboration. She explains options, checks in about what is working, and adjusts the approach as the client’s needs change. This makes it easier to try new ways of coping without feeling rushed.

She offers sessions in English and Croatian and works from Australia. If you are feeling isolated or struggling with social anxiety, Angela can help you talk through what matters and plan small, manageable steps toward connection and steadier mood.

How Angela's approaches translate to online work

Angela commonly uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT is often practical and task-focused, which can suit people wanting clearer steps for managing anxiety or low mood.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas that help people notice and name feelings, and work through emotions that keep them stuck. EFT-style work can be helpful for grief and for improving how someone expresses needs and connects with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Angela discusses the options, checks what feels most useful, and adapts methods to fit each person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether more cognitive tools, emotion-focused exploration or narrative and mindfulness practices are best for you.

The therapist's biography does not specify which session formats are offered online, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. A mix of approaches and practical scheduling helps therapy fit everyday routines without promising a specific format.
