Sarah Angela
I am ready and able to support you with the psychotherapeutic tools you need to manage and thrive in all of life's challenges, changes & opportunities.
With a strong desire for freedom & change in my own life and being deeply motivated by a desire & need for connection, harmony, and service to others, I bring a sense of adventure and curiosity to my psychotherapy practice, connecting with people from diverse backgrounds and always committed to providing genuine support to all.
I am a ‘free-spirit’ who finds innovative approaches to complex issues and in my psychotherapy practice this emerges through trauma-informed psychotherapeutic techniques nuanced for individual clients and their unique situations. I naturally express thoughts or ideas through metaphors and inquiry, articulating perspectives that may inspire or deeply connect with a client in their own healing journey.
I am a Registered Psychotherapist, bringing my lived experience of various countries, cultures, paths and peoples into the work I now as a Spiritual Psychotherapist. Graduating from Transformational Arts College of Spiritual & Holistic Training, I have a particular interest in working through parts work, somatic approaches and self-compassion to help you access your own wisdom within. I come to this work with a background in Vision Rehabilitation Therapy, Acquired Brain Injury Lifeskills Facilitation, Childcare & Eldercare.

The 'Who Am I?' Questions
The curiosity about our core, wondering about how we express our best Self, I find myself journeying with clients towards deeper self-understanding and self-acceptance.
I work with clients navigating:
- chonic illness or medical diagnosis
- job loss or uncertainty, retirement, new career
- fertility & infertility, perimenopause
- self-identiy, gender identity
- body shame & embodied living
I spent my early childhood living on the British Columbia West Coast and then in Africa, India, Singapore and Indonesia.
My story includes some absolutely amazing experiences, and some childhood trauma as well. Over the years and with the help of various people in my life, I have come to a place of self-love, joy and freedom.
It's an honour to share this sense of grounded ‘ok-ness’ with others, as a teacher, facilitator and therapist, helping others to find their own ‘ok-ness’ and beyond it to live into their own joy. I see my role as providing hospitality to the body, mind and soul of each client who comes works with me.
