Children and Young People
Angelena has had a long international career working with and on behalf of children and young people. Over that time, she has seen a quantum shift in the mental health of young people across the world. Technology and the speed of change that we are now experiencing in our world, coupled with the effects of lockdown and social isolation, has had a profound effect on some of our children and young adults across Australia, and the Clarence Valley is no different.
​
Consequently, Angelena founded The House of Contemporary Wisdom (HOCW). Through psychotherapy, coaching and mentoring, Angelena works with children and young people who navigate the complexities of today’s world.
​
At HOCW, we specialise in providing tailored services for children and young people facing challenges i.e. anxiety, stress, ADHD, and those on the autism spectrum.​
​​Angelena said “I have the privilege of working closely with young individuals and their families, helping them understand their choices and behaviours, whilst guiding them to carve their own paths amid life’s many obstacles”.
​
​As someone who has experienced the intricacies of not fitting herself, she brings a unique perspective and approach to her work. She is dedicated to fostering resilience and self-acceptance in each young person she meets.
​
Appointments: Appointments for children and young people are booked for a 60-minute duration but run for 45 minutes to 60 minutes depending on the attention span of the child or young person.
