At PsychSpace, we know that sometimes, things can get a little tangled up

We can help you understand
your symptoms, and find clarity

Stress/PTSD

Stress can be caused by a number of life factors, and often the result of complex trauma. We can help you unpack, and get back on track.

Anxiety

Anxiety is a common issue arising from everyday, life circumstances. We can help you gain a deeper understanding and avoid problems like panic attacks and difficulties in social environments.

Depression

Depression is a complex issue, and too often overlooked. If you have trouble motivating yourself, have low self-esteem, or are dealing with with grief or other issues, you can talk to us about regaining clarity.

Panic

Although panic can be acute and somewhat alarming, it's onset often happens without us even realising it. Let us help you diagnose these causes, and prevent panic attacks and other symptoms.

To help you straighten things out

PsychSpace is a private clinic which offers counselling and psychological
assessments in a supportive, comfortable and accepting environment.

Create meaningful changes

By utilizing evidence-based strategies and therapies which are tailored to your needs and goals, after a thorough assessment. We create a space where you can share your concerns, and work with the psychologist to explore positive solutions.

Angela Sheather

Clinical Psychologist

I believe therapy is a collaborative process

I started Psychspace to provide a non-judgmental and welcoming atmosphere to bring about positive change.

I have over 10 years’ experience working with a wide range of mental health issues within the government system and as a private practitioner. I have a particular interest in trauma, PTSD and personality disorders. Though the completion of my Master degree, specializing in Clinical Psychology, I conducted research into the effects of pre-term birth on parents, particularly focusing on the identification and prevalence of PTSD, depression and Anxiety.

During my time living and working in remote mining towns, I was also involved in creating community awareness programs, running support groups, providing counselling to both residential and FIFO workers and creating and facilitating information seminars to businesses, schools and the community.

Now located in Brisbane, PsychSpace has clinics in both Bulimba and Fortitude Valley. The clinics provide individual counselling and assessments. This includes trauma therapy and peri-operative anxiety management. I am also involved with the Keith Payne Unit at Greenslopes private hospital, where I assist with running veteran specific clinical programs and individual counselling to both inpatients and day program users. I am also a registered provider for Open Arms, which provides counselling for currently serving veterans and their families.
