Angie Kingma, Registered Psychotherapist
About Angie
Angie Kingma is a Registered Psychotherapist and the founder of Mindfulness for Health, a practice she established in 2011. She brings over 26 years of experience in mental health, integrating clinical expertise with evidence-based, mindfulness-informed approaches to support adults seeking meaningful and lasting change.
Angie holds a post-graduate degree in Occupational Therapy with a specialization in Mental Health, and she has worked extensively in a range of clinical settings supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress-related conditions, and significant life transitions. She is also skilled in working with complex trauma, childhood emotional neglect, and longstanding emotional patterns that continue to affect present-day relationships, self-worth, and overall well-being.
Her work is informed by contemporary neuroscience and integrates evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, memory reconsolidation, and somatic and nervous system regulation practices.
Drawing on attachment theory, trauma-informed care, and self-compassion, she tailors her approach to each individual’s unique needs, helping clients better understand their patterns, process difficult emotions, and create meaningful, lasting change.
At the heart of her work is a warm, collaborative therapeutic relationship where clients feel supported in exploring not only what they’re struggling with, but also what may be keeping them stuck.
In her psychotherapy practice, Angie helps clients understand the roots of emotional patterns, regulate their nervous systems, and develop healthier ways of relating to their thoughts, emotions, and relationships. She is known for her steady and attuned presence, her ability to create a safe and supportive therapeutic environment, and her integrative approach that blends insight, mindfulness, and experiential healing.
