About Us
Our Story
From seeds to blooms
After falling in love with developing and delivering group programs in private practice, our founder and Registered Psychologist, Angela, decided to nurture this love by growing Inner Bloom Psychology Services.
​
Inner Bloom was built to empower others and nurture personal growth through a range of services. Focusing on safety, learning, and connection; it's our goal to help you build awareness, understanding, acceptance, and compassion towards yourself, so that you can feel confident within yourself.​
​
Growing up in regional and rural Central QLD, Angela understands just how limited services are outside of major cities. This is why we make it our mission at Inner Bloom to provide various delivery modalities.
With groups delivered in-person and via Zoom, online courses available on-demand, and a range of downloadable resources and content - we're aiming to maximise accessibility to reach a broader and more diverse range of individuals and communities.
​
Providing inclusive, trauma informed and neurodiverse affirming services is something that sits close to Angela's heart. Being founded by a neurodivergent woman with a range of lived experiences, it's our vision to deliver services, content and resources that are clinical and highly professional in nature, while still feeling relatable, compassionate, realistic, and deeply human at heart.

Our Practices
We thoughtfully combine a range of evidence-based interventions and practices to create services, products and content that can be professionally adapted and tailored to you.

Our practices include:
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS)
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Solution Focused Therapy (SFT)
Mindfulness-based practices
Circle of Security Parenting Facilitator (COSP)

Meet Angela Newton
Registered Psychologist
B Psych (Hons), MAPS
As a neurodivergent woman, I crave the chaos, flexibility and autonomy that comes from creativity and novelty; but also need the structure of routines to remain grounded and thrive.
As a psychologist, I desire the ability to stretch beyond the basic structures of evidence-based services; I want to deliver creative, relatable and educational services that I'm completely and utterly passionate about.
​
Throughout my career, I've been incredibly fortunate to receive opportunities to develop various groups, workshops, webinars and training programs both for clients and other professionals - allowing me to find perfect harmony between my desire for flexibility and need for structure to unlock new strengths.
These opportunities also allowed me to discover that by channeling my energy into creating programs and content that I'm deeply passionate about, I could pave the path to a career that truly ignites my soul!
As a late diagnosed ADHD'er, I can understand how it feels to re-lens your experiences and heal after years of anxiety, depression, chronic stress, meltdowns and burnout, all accompanied by awful self-talk due to a lack of self-understanding, self-acceptance and self-compassion. I believe in the power of education, therapy and healing, because I've experienced the benefits of it firsthand.
My early life experiences inspired me to become a psychologist, and I utilise my years of professional study, training and practice along with those experiences to offer my clients more than just evidence-based interventions. I'm proud to admit that I love my job, and I'm so passionate about the work that I do because the areas of practice I'm most focused in are also the areas I hold closest to my heart.
I wholeheartedly believe in the power of connection, acceptance, understanding, and showing up authentically in the therapy space. Ensuring that my clients feel safe, held, and heard is always my main focus in therapy. This is because progress can't happen without feeling safe, held and heard; and you can't feel safe, held or heard without connection, acceptance, understanding or authenticity.
I pride myself on offering services that are trauma informed, culturally sensitive and neurodiverse affirming. I intentionally avoid over planning or heavily scripting my services to provide more space for collaboration, greater opportunities for autonomy, and to allow room for highly clinical content to be delivered in a more relaxed, relatable, organic and flexible manner.
During the week, you'll likely find me either working on groups and projects for Inner Bloom, or working at Redlands Psychologists where I see clients both in my office and via Telehealth for individual therapy.
When I'm not working, you'll likely find me curled up with a romantacy book, head banging to some heavy metal, moving my body, soaking up some sun at the beach, connecting with my friends and family, working on my latest (short-lived) craft project or special interest hobby, cooking up a storm in the kitchen, or living my best life by indulging in lots of delicious food.
