As a therapist, Angela works holistically, offering creative techniques and somatic work as part of her approach to those who want that in addition to talking therapy. Her experience gives her a deep understanding and insights into the challenges around performance stress, touring, mental health, addiction issues, grief, anxiety, trauma, power dynamics, managing health issues, menopause, relationship difficulties, co-dependancy, sexuality and gender identity, social and emotional issues, loneliness, self-esteem and confidence.
