FNQ ADHD Angela Agius Hi, I’m Angie In 2018, after struggling to reach my “potential” despite repeatedly being described as bright , enthusiastic and intelligent I was diagnosed with ADHD. My son had just been diagnosed and through the process I recognized the parallels in my own life. I was determined to support my son to be the best version of himself and set out to learn everything I could about ADHD. I am a graduate of the Basic Training Program at the ADD Coach Academy [ADDCA] working towards accreditation and enrolled in the Advanced Training program. ADDCA provides training designed specifically for coaching those with ADHD and is one of a few organizations accredited by the ICF and PAAC. I am passionate about helping individuals to achieve their goals through an 'ADHD lens', co-creating strategies, and engineering an environment that works to support the ADHD brain, not struggle against it.

Good Therapy Australia Often asked to recommend a practitioner, it puzzled me that meaningful information relevant to finding a suitable therapist was not readily available to the general public. The benefits of such a resource were compelling, and in December 2003, fate and inspiration spurred me into action: the first step was to create an accessible Directory where Australians could select from a range of search criteria and browse the profiles of accredited counsellors, psychotherapists, and psychologists. Launched on 15 September 2004, Goodtherapy.com.au was met with enthusiastic support from mental health practitioners and the wider community. In 2005, Good Therapy Australia became a not-for-profit organisation and registered health promotion charity. Today, Good Therapy Australia continues to move forward - albeit slowly and one small step at a time. Thank you to all who in the spirit of collaboration and compassion, help to make "good" therapy an evolving reality. Please contact: Jeanne Abelson I have a gentle, person-centred approach. I use holistic, creative and spiritual methods, depending on your preferences, and help you discover your own direction and solutions.
