Meet Anjelika


Anjelika (Bch. Social Work (Hons)) is deeply passionate about creating a relaxed and approachable environment in which her clients can reflect, develop self-awareness, and resilience.


With a focus on capacity building, Anjelika approaches her work with curiosity and respect. Her counselling work is grounded in her recognition of the unique strengths and needs of each individual that she works with. She utilises evidence-based interventions alongside a holistic approach that considers lifestyle and meaningful connections in order support her clients in meeting life’s changes and challenges. 

Anjelika brings with her a diverse background with experience from international community outreach to individual counselling, all complimented by over a decade of teaching dance, yoga and movement. Anjelika has worked extensively in the not-for-profit sector, schools, and disability/NDIS before transitioning into counselling, with a focus on wellbeing and interpersonal/family relationships. Anjelika works with children, young people, individuals, couples, and families, and facilitates leadership and trauma-informed youth work trainings. 

Anjelika currently works predominantly via tele-health.
