Angie is the founder of Reflective Haven, she wanted to create a space that would help people with type 1 diabetes, to share their fears with someone who specialises in chronic illness psychology, to have a warm atmosphere to share their diagnosis story and any triggers.
Reflective Haven helps adults with type 1 diabetes and parents of children with diabetes understand their emotional triggers, connect mind and body, and approach daily life and parenting more mindfully. Support, including EMDR, gives you space to explore your thoughts and feelings and work towards less anxiety. Sessions are available via Zoom or phone anywhere in Australia, from home or during your lunch break at work.
The early years are important to build a foundation of good mental health. At times life circumstances can cause anxiety, sadness, and anger outbursts for children. These can get concerning depending on the frequency and the impact on their life. Parent counselling early into a problem can be easier to shift so don’t wait. We can teach your child strategies to deal with these big emotions to help guide them and help them make sense of a stressful event.
Reflective Haven can provide you with a space that is about you and a path to guide you in decreasing anxiety, depression or seeking parenting strategies for a more harmonious home. Its normal to not feel yourself at times, especially during the current extraordinary times we face.
