About Angela
Angela Koech is an AASW social worker with nine years of practical experience in Australia. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or depression. Angela also supports people coping with grief, parenting challenges and career uncertainty.
She encourages those who are taking the first step towards help and acknowledges how much courage that requires. Angela’s style is straightforward and respectful. She starts by listening to each person’s story and identifying strengths that can be used to make changes.
How Angela works
Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as new ways of seeing their situation. In sessions she breaks problems into manageable pieces. That might mean trying small behaviour changes, building routines or working on communication skills.
Angela pays attention to goals such as improving mood, reducing worry, or finding clearer direction at work. Forgiveness and life purpose are areas she pays extra attention to when they matter to a person’s healing. She helps people explore what matters to them and how that can shape decisions going forward.
Her approach aims to be warm and down-to-earth. Angela meets people where they are and moves at a pace that feels doable. If someone wants a practical, strengths-based focus, she offers that alongside gentle support.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Angela uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One approach she often uses breaks problems into small, manageable steps to reduce overwhelm and build confidence; this helps with anxiety, stress and day-to-day coping. Another common focus is processing loss and grief by giving space to emotions and helping people find ways to remember and move forward, which can support recovery from bereavement or major life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Angela collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. She listens first, then suggests approaches to try, and adjusts them as progress is made so the plan fits the individual.
Online therapy is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distance. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts in writing and fit support around work or family commitments. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent and flexible without needing to travel.
