Substance Use Counselling in CV10

I am a qualified and accredited addictions therapist, and hold a post graduate diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy from Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute. I have over 9 years’ experience of working alongside adults with substance use disorders and behavioural addictions, psychological disorders and underlying psychotherapeutic issues. I offer a safe and confidential space in which to work through your presenting issues, whilst offering a supportive relationship alongside you to meet your goals of therapy. Addictive behaviours have a tendency to silence the person whose struggling, so a non judgemental environment is offered

It can seem like the hardest thing to do to access counselling, but it can be life changing if you take that first step. You may not be entirely clear on what you want but just have a feeling that things don't feel right and you have decided that you want to understand what, why and how to refocus and live the life you feel is best for you. Or perhaps you are very aware of a struggle with difficulties, which may already be formally diagnosed by another professional, and you want to regain some control instead of feeling that these issues take over. I can support people in achieving their goals wherever they are in their journey.

Hi, my name is Lynsey and I would like to help support you in this difficult time. Sometimes we go through life at such a fast pace that we ignore our underlying feelings and this can sometimes cause us upset and frustration. I wonder if you are Living a life with uncomfortable feelings and not knowing how to process them which can be holding you back from a more fulfilled life, are you finding it hard to understand yourself or Maybe you have felt things are too much right now and have a lot going on in your head. We get bogged down sometimes and tend to push our emotions to one side, which can lead to unwanted behaviour.

As an experienced qualified counsellor, I am passionate about establishing a professional therapeutic relationship. I feel this connection enables us to build trust and work collaboratively to explore the difficulties you may be experiencing. A fundamental component of my work is to support clients to find inner peace and balance in life. Also to explore your current situation, find acceptance and bring about meaningful change. Through a process of growth, self-awareness and self-discovery together we can achieve your goals.

If you are feeling anxious, stressed, depressed, confused or suffering with addiction issues cognitive behavioral therapy can help. I understand how finding the right therapist to work with can be confusing. That’s why I encourage you to have a free telephone consultation first so you can decide for yourself whether we will be a good match. I work with clients while they process and resolve the issues they are facing and find real long lasting solutions to their problems. Somewhere inside you is the person you were meant to be, so let’s release that person, so you can move forwards with clarity and direction.
