Angela works one on one with clients and occasionally a third party such as a parent, a partner or friend may join the session with your consent.

Angela bases her work on the 12 Step Recovery Model which Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous and Al-Anon all use.

 

As well as talking and active listening, during the session she may guide you through a basic meditation. She may invite you to do some writing or creativity exercises and help you get in touch with the more playful and joyful parts of yourself.

At some point she may also recommend a written personal moral inventory be done to discover what patterns and beliefs are dominating your life. Notions of a god, a higher power, or a power greater than oneself will be introduced and explored.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?


Recovery from an addiction, which can often bring up issues of trauma, abuse, or repressed memory however, is not such a short process. More sessions would be necessary for these kinds of issues to be explored. Recovery is about exploring, discovering and uncovering what has held us back. Rest assured that you are in the driver’s seat, and although Angela makes recommendations as to how long she thinks the work will take, you have the final say.
