Addiction Counselling

Addiction can affect every aspect of life - including relationships, work, self-esteem, emotional wellbeing, and physical health. Whether you are grappling with substance abuse, alcohol dependency, or compulsive behaviours, or you're feeling the effects of a loved one's addiction, addiction therapy can provide a safe and supportive space for meaningful change.

I offer compassionate, non-judgemental addictions counselling tailored to your individual experiences, goals, and stages of recovery. Together, we explore the underlying emotional patterns, triggers, trauma, and stressors that contribute to addictive behaviours, while building healthier strategies for long-term healing and resilience.

My approach integrates evidence-based therapeutic methods that are widely recognized as effective in addiction treatment, including:

- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours.

- Motivational Interviewing (MI) to strengthen motivation, confidence, and readiness for change.

- Somatic Experiencing (SE), a body-oriented therapeutic approach that is especially effective when addiction is linked to trauma, chronic stress, emotional dysregulation, or nervous system overwhelm.

Recovery is not about perfection; it is about understanding yourself, creating sustainable change, and reconnecting with the life you want to live. Through substance abuse counselling, therapy can help you move forward with greater clarity, self-compassion, and support.
