A Bit About Me

Angela Poch, counsellor, life coach and trainer

Nice to meet you!

Hello, I’m Angela Poch, RPC* and I’m a clinical counsellor and life coach specializing in: defeating depression & anxiety, improving relationships, insomnia, and integrative health. I use TEAM-CBT and, if you choose, faith-based methods to create lasting change in a brief time frame. There are a few things make me unique and possibly a good fit for you.

I’ve worked with Dr. David Burns as a small group leader in his workshops and I am currently a small group leader in his Stanford Tuesday group for health professionals. I am a Feeling Good Institute clinician and trainer. In addition to one-on-one personal work, I also offer consulting and training for therapists and life coaching book a 20min consult or email me to learn more. I also enjoy putting on workshops and doing speaking engagements.

I’m ADHD, have autistic traits, dealt with trauma, struggled with gender molds yet a Bible believing Christian. I’m a wife and mother. I’ve worked with people from all walks of life including youth to veterans, white collar high paid professionals to blue collar rednecks, students, and even homeless persons.

In my own life I’ve dealt with depression, anxiety, anger, relationship issues, insomnia, stress, loss, bullying, and even suicidal ideation, and while I’m not perfect, I’m on the other side to tell you there is hope for recovery!

I get how hard it can be to open up. That when you are in the midst of darkness, light seems impossible! When the anxiety is so strong you feel it in your body. Don’t stop here just reading this, book a free chat with me right now!

My Journey To Helping Others

The road I took to recovery was paved with the tools I use in our sessions together. I’ll never ask you to do something I wouldn’t do myself. In addition I have had or do have: ADHD, autistic symptoms, memory problems, chronic pain, gender/identity issues, trauma, IBS, fibromyalgia, and other real life ebbs and flows, none of which have stopped me from finding joy and recovery….

I Too Faced Depression

Depression affects more than 300 million people worldwide. But beyond statistics, it gets personal when it’s a dear friend, close family member, or even closer to home, yourself. I’ve certainly not come away unscathed….. 

How I defeated depression

A Taste of My Anxiety

I’ve recovered from social anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, and intrusive thoughts. I also manage my IBS and Fibromyalgia reasonably well, but this is a work in progress. This doesn’t tell my who story but it gives you a taste of what’s possible.

Hidden Anxiety and more

Breaking the Mold!

I’ve been asked, as a Christian, how can I be a safe place for LGBTQ+? While spirituality is integral to recovery, all have free choice and I am not the Holy Spirit. I can be an example to others through my own journey.

Diversity & Acceptance

Results Driven

Before and after each session we do a progress report on how you are feeling to ensure we are moving in the right direction. If you are not feeling some improvement within the first couple sessions, I’m happy to offer you a free double session to see if we can gain some momentum.
